About Me

Hello, I am New Hampshire......also known as the Granite State or the White Mountain State. I became the 9th State of June 21 1788 and was one of the original 13 colonies. I have a population of 1,275,000 (2002 estimate) and am the fastest growing New England State. I have it all, meaning that I am mountains, lakes and rivers and ocean but for a little state I pack in 10 counties and 221 towns. I rock! (literally granite!) My highest point is Mount Washington at 6,288 feet. You should check it out up there, its pretty. My motto that I have lived by for over 200 years is "LIVE FREE OR DIE" which is a direct quote from Revolutionary General John Stark, hero of Battle of Bennington. So come check me out, you might just have fun!This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

I like to ski/ride, hike, swim, climb, kayak and canoe, bike, walk and run, surf, boat and take in everything that I have to offer. I like being sales tax free and income tax free. I like my lakes and rivers and my little stretch of coastline oh and did I mention that I love to LIVE FREE!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has been here, lived here and loves me just as much as I love myself!
