We stayed at a great B&B last night, had a great breakfast this morning and then off to the west. Well it was generally west but we zigzagged back and forth across the mountains. First we went west to Gorham, then south to Conway, then west to Woodstock, north to Stowe then southwest to Burlington. We spent about 8 hours to go 3 hours.
We went around Mount Washington. We thought about going to the top but everyone we talked to recommended against it unless you needed that merit badge to get your Eagle. It is a dirt road to the top and generally, the weather is terrible, so we decided to see it from the road around the base. We are still a couple of weeks early for the color of the leaves to hit their maximum color. We did find patches of some color change. It was a beautiful drive along the side of a stream with mountains on each side. It even had a few switch backs along the route. I guess since we are early there wasn’t a lot of traffic, although the tour buses have started to show up.
Stowe was a place we had to visit. It is a special place for our niece Beth and her husband Taylor. Ok now we have been why in the hell do they like that place? It is like Gatlinburg. Just your typical tourist trap, with one tee shirt shop after another. Really, Beth you can do better than that.
On tomorrow to Fort Ticonderoga and Lake Placid.
