New Hampshire has the shortest coastline of any state.
The Atlantic Ocean washes its shores for 18 miles ... sometimes recorded as only 13 miles!
... and we drove all of it.
Matt used to do winter sea bird surveys there as an undergrad at UNH. We stopped at the spots he thought were the ones they used for the surveys.
It was amazing to hear him talk about doing that work
in the wind and cold of a NH seacoast winter.
One guy counted the birds through a spotting scope or binocs -
the other had to have bare hands to write.
Brrrr ... sounds brutal ... and I live in Alaska!
