Well, that’s not sketchy at all!

I live near Boston and NH still seems pretty glamorous. Driving north on I-93, I always get a bit of a shiver down my spine when the White Mountains first come into view. Especially when heading for a winter hike - when I first see that giant wall of snow and ice in the distance and realize that’s my destination, it’s an awe-inspiring feeling……

As someone born and raised in Maine and now a 21 year resident of New Hampshire, I think her prize is wicked good.

That’s probably exactly how it works. They like “big personalities” and people with unusual stories to talk about with the host.

Yep. There are some less built up beaches a little further up the coast and across the border in Southern Maine.

Yep, exactly. And the cars? Virtually nobody keeps those. Everyone always takes a 60% cash value instead because of the taxes and the fact that you have to get it home, assuming you even want or need a new car at that moment (which most people don’t- people like the cars they have, and a new one is higher insurance and registration) . The contestants act excited because they are directed to do so, but also because the token car is usually still the most valuable thing you can win. It still a good amount of money after all the taxes, fees, and cash discount.

Although she certainly didn’t think so. 
What an amazing attitude!

Her comment that it’ll make a great piece of furniture is the most honest comment about treadmills ever.

Or switch her outbound and inbound flights so she would fly to LA and home again.
It reminds me of some cheesy game show from the late 1970s/early 80s era (I think it was Joker’s Wild) where a contestant won an all-expense-paid trip to… Hannibal, Missouri.
That looks like Hampton Beach. Most of the NH coast is much less built-up. For anyone who likes running, there’s an annual 20-mile race along the NH coast (‘Eastern States’) from the northern border with Maine to the southern border with Massachusetts. Scenic and highly recommended!

I don’t know when cash alternatives were first introduced, but I thought I had read that Let’s Make a Deal had to implement the policy when they had a bull behind one of the doors as a gag prize. After the show the contestant asked for the bull, a very valuable prize winning bull which the show had borrowed for the show and never intended to give out. My Google skills are insufficient to verify that recollection/story, though.

Yeah, that’s kind of how almost all gameshows, reality tv shows, and the like work.
But I don’t have a boat.

All photos taken from the land (except the drone one I guess). Plenty of places to walk along the water. Even eat or drink.
