Contoocook, NH

[Dreepa]

I posted this over at FSP but I figured you guys would know better:

Anybody live in this town?
Anybody know this town?

My wife might fly out there in 2 weeks to check out a house for us.

Any info on this town would be great.

LOL...... I'm going out there tomorrow. It's nice, some lakefront property, and is darn close to Concord.
'Bout all I know about it..........

ok.... you get to scout it out for me. 
I guess it is really just a section of Hopkington.
My wife is going to scout a few areas prior to our move.  This is her second trip.. she is now onboard.  I still haven't visited NH in over 2 years.

We're going there on the 9th for the CNHT reunion.

[Dreepa]

Sweet can you do a few minute drive by and tell me what you think?

[Kat Kanning]

Yup

I never even heard of Contoocook before and now I am so curious, I could Pop!

[Dreepa]

did you hear that?
Oh it was not Lloyd popping... that was a firework!

I found out that Contoocook is a subsection of Hopkington.  If my wife flies out and like the house that means we move right into a house rather than live in a hotel for weeks and weeks while we look for a house.

All's I wanna know is... howinnaheck do you pronounce "Contoocook"?

Bear in mind, I've a mate who resides in Mooloolaba, Qld., Orstraylia. And I know how to pronounce Mooloolaba.

I always get it wrong on the pronounciation 

Oh Dreepa, when we go there next week, we can drive around and take some photos for you.  We'll post them up here.

That is a nice area. Gloria and I drove up through there in April. We went up 103 from Contoocook to Warner and turned off to Waterloo. There is another covered bridge to drive through on Newmarket Rd. to Newmarket. (This is the other Newmarket, not where Mike lives.) We then went up to Melvin Mills, over to Bradford, down to Henniker and back to Concord. A nice little ride.

Cheers!
