Driving Through New England in the Fall


October 6, 2017, we are leaving Maine to explore Civil War sites in the South.  Truck mileage began at 99,197 and now reads 105,662 so we have traveled 6465 miles so far. We started off on Route 2 from Farmington. We traveled along Rt 9, passed by Story land, Pinkham Notch and camped at Mile
Away Campground, on once we figured out how to cross the river.  The directions took us to a covered bridge that was
too low for us. We rambled a while and finally found the correct entrance.

Trees are beginning to have more color as we drive into New Hampshire.
The peak of Mt Washington is hidden in  the clouds. Sonny and I have driven up to the top on the one and a half lane, gravel road.  It was a clear day so  the view was magnificent.  There is also a 9 gauge railroad that takes passengers. The buildings on top are chained to the ground as winds have  been clocked at 200 mph.



Traffic was manageable as we headed towards Mt Washington, the tallest peak in the Northeast at 6288'
These signs always made me nervous when we were riding the bikes.
A small country church.


The only moose I saw outside,  LLBean does have several stuffed animals including two moose with locked horns.

This cone was a nice attraction.  It caught my eye.

Either flea market or farmer's  market. Somebody
scored a vintage Shasta camper.

Color getting brighter and traffic getting thicker.
