The next state up will be Virginia! If you're from Virginia, please respond to this comment with any information you'd like to include about your home state!

[ChintzleMcGrundle]

Fun fact, in southern NH, you'll be walking through the woods and find a lot of granite stone fences. Most of southern NH used to be clear cut farmland, so these walls you find everywhere in the woods were field and property lines

[NikeSimmons]

People dont realize how much of a blessing living in NH is compared to other states and parts of the world

[jasonjacoby]

I freaking love New Hampshire. I traveled all over America before finally settling here, and have been wholly and continuously satisfied.

Another fact about New Hampshire: The New Hampshire House of Representatives has the lowest representative ratio of any state legislative chamber. For every state representative there are approximately 3, 000 constituents. For reference, the average in most states is 56, 000. There's an argument to be made that you have the best government representation in New Hampshire.

[beardthebartender]

You forgot to mention that one of the people who lifted the flag at Iwo Jima was from New Hampshire

[MeepsDoesStuff]

As a resident of NH born and raised and still living here, I love the fact it ranks in the top 3 safest states, and loosest gun laws :)

[livirose]

I live in NH and you were extremely accurate with everything and super informative. This popped up on my recommendations and I'm glad it did. 😁

[grantmacdonald]

As a lifelong NH resident you did a great job covering everything about our great state! Keep it up!

[ericaghelfi]

NH resident here, please stop reminding people our state is really nice, we’d like to keep it this way.

[ChintzleMcGrundle]

Mass can have seabrook, its essentially north salisbury

[jsmith]

Regarding famous Granite Staters, you should have mentioned that one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Aerosmith, has its origins in Sunapee, NH. It is where Steven Tyler and Joe Perry met, as their families both vacationed regularly at the lake in the summers when they were growing up. Steven Tyler still maintains a residence on the lake.

Life long new hampshirite here. Very well done. Great video. Your pronunciations were spot on, which for someone from outside the region can be very difficult. Love this state and you did an incredible job.

[gamrkidd]

I’m from Oxnard California. Not too far from LA. I’m a trucker and in 2018 I drove through 38 states.. nowadays I drive only in my city. Out of all those states, to this day I still loved New Hampshire the most .. I briefly saw it in The autumn of that year. Apparently it was the “blood brook” in Wilton New Hampshire.. since then I’ve wanted to go back and explore that state. Despite the fact in Northern California we have a lot of gorgeous scenery as well.

[NortheastSurvival]

I was born and raised in Plymouth New Hampshire. I love it here. We have very very low crime rates generally speaking in new hampshire. Tax-free except for room and board and prepared meals taxes. We have very friendly gun laws here. I've carried a concealed firearm for most of my life. Never had to use it either. Four beautiful seasons. And depending on where you are in the state depends on the accent that you hear. Here in New England there are a couple dozen different accents. I went down to Florida a few years back and everybody thought I was from boston. It was amusing. Stay safe out there and God bless

[TyoN]

Should have mentioned the no seatbelt law while you said no helmet law.

[vaughncortez]

honestly this series is great and a hidden gem to one of the best series on youtube. Each video is so well done and captivating as everyone in the country can relate to their own state. you have rightfully earned a new subscriber! hello!

[Strategic_Reformer]

I'm from the greater Boston area in Mass. but have spent a ton of time in the Whites and Monadnock (the latter of which I think is one of the busiest mtns in the world, let alone the region and country)

The 231 mph winds on Mt. Washington are the fastest ever recorded, I beleive, due to strong, cold winds from the north and west being funneled through the rest of the white mtns and converging on the summit, which is considerably taller than any of it's neighbors. As mentioned by Carter, this makes the weather on the Presi range pretty volatile (a young woman and a mid age man recently died on the Ridgeline when frosty conditions kicked in swiftly, so be careful. Listen to the signs, it really is the worst weather in the country).

Still, it's an amazing natural area. I highly recommend visiting around "Columbus day", aka mid October. Mild temperatures and serviceable weather mean excellent hiking conditions through bueatiful forests, which turn ablaze with autumn

[MalachioftheForest]

Missed opportunity to mention was America's Stonehenge located in Salem, New Hampshire. It's an ancient astrological site possibly dating back to as early as 2000 BCE. Its exact use and age is difficult to determine as the site was also the location of a farm house as well as a stop on the Underground Railroad. There has been a lot of damage to the site though much of the astrological stone formations are still present.

I'm a native New Yorker who has lived in NH (just north of Portsmouth) for the past 33 years. An observation I've made during that time is that the characteristic "yankee" accent that used to be so prevalent in the region has disappeared among the younger folks here...your guest being a good example. It is now only found among the senior citizens in the region.
