Blogs from New Hampshire, United States, North America - page 2

Well here is another blog update for your enjoyment. I’ve done what is called a quiet publish of the blog so if you’ve not read anything since I published Day 24 a while back, then go and have a read and keep posting your comments as you read them if you find anything interesting or have any questions as they are always great to read and sometimes funny too ! So as of today you can keep reading through until Blog Day # 30. Big sleep after a big day and we did not get up until after 8 and had a quick breakfast of bran cereal, strawberry yoghurt and some cream cheese on toast and we hit the road around 9am. Today it is cold around 4 degrees and cloudy with maximum expected of around ... read more

Thursday 29th: The motel we were staying at, had a basement kitchen and dining room so Ian resurrected his chef’s skills and cooked up a storm (bacon & eggs) for breakfast. Keith arrived sartorially elegant as always (see photo) and we had a hearty feed to start the day. Then the adventure continued. The plan for today was to ride South over the next two days, heading for Albany in New York state where we are going to store our bikes at Ronnies Motorcycles. Within a few miles Keith's bike indicated it wasn't going to play ball, missing and the electrics playing up. At this stage it kept running albeit roughly, however within 25 miles it stopped all together. We had a high-level tech meeting on the side of the road. Deciding that it probably wasn't ... read more

Maine was really getting cold and wet, I needed a change of scenery. I decided to go back to New Hampshire to visit the White Mountain National Forest. Such a good decision. This was a location on my itinerary two weeks ago, but bee lined myself swiftly to Maine despite my premade plans. I have no excuse other than the thrill I get from making last minute decisions. NH was quiet beautiful in this area. The rolling hills of trees that are transforming into their iconic autumn colors covered the grounds as far as the eye could see. Out of the dozens of scenic view points and hiking trails, I first choose the amazing Lower Falls in Albany, by the Kancamapus Highway. Rushing waters of the Swift River, turned slight brown from picking up summer debris ... read more

Tuttle's restaurant is prominent on the Wells River main street. I found it at 7:30 the next morning, open and ready for breakfast, the best meal of the day. It took me twenty minutes to cover the mile from the hotel, however, due to the the need to stop and take pictures. The Connecticut, which separates Woodsville from Wells River (and NH from VT) was covered with low, fast disappearing mist, creating perfect conditions for those well loved autumn photos with trees obscured by fog. Getting out of Woodsville was also slow. They have a long narrow covered bridge over a waterfall, very attractive, that led to a General Store claiming to the be oldest in the country. Fodder for the camera. The route then does a big loop through the South of the state, turning ... read more
