New Hampshire was a mix of beautiful Fall colors & rainy, cloudy weather. Luckily, our RV park was great & we had the place to ourselves most the time. Plenty of books & news of the crashing economy
helped us pass time when we couldn't sightsee. We visited Mt. Washington on the advice of our new Florida friends Stuart & Nola, who we met on the Oshkosh trip. It is the highest point in the Eastern U.S. at over 6,000 feet. The weather was beautiful at the base & then we drove through the clouds ("undercast") before reaching sunny skies at the top. The weather observatory clocked a 231 MPH wind in 1934. The building now ha

chains running over the top of the roof! We drove along small country roads & the very scenic Kancagamus Highway. We stopped at the pond where you're most likely to see moo
se, but none appeared. We visited several covered bridges. Seems like they were big targets for arsonists back in the day, as many were rebuilt several times. Took a couple hikes to waterfalls. Dennis may not appreciate the waterfalls as mu

h as Barb does, but he's a good sport about it. The Wolfeboro, N.H. scarecrow festival was fun. We saw scarecrows fishing, stomping grapes, enjoying wine on the porch, riding a unicycle & going on vacation. We even met Michael Phelps. Chowderfest reminded us of the fun chili cookoff we attended last winter with Marc & Marcie but the long tasting/voting line did not look fun without M&M to entertain us. We considered calling Marcie to pass the time but gave up & toured instead. We found where "On Golden Pond" was filmed. Both of us have seen the movie but could only remember that it starred the Fondas & everyone worked out their differences. Hmm, guess we'll look for it on the TV listings. Chinese food took the place of chowder & we found a bookstore selling VERY cheap books - 22 books for $
5! Barb had a "vision" of photos of a lake reflecting the Fall colors. Barb's visions usually drive Dennis quite crazy because of the work involved in making them reality. We searched nearly 2 weeks, gave up & then stumbled upon the perfect little pond 3 miles from our campsite. Enjoy the realized vision & join us as we envy the people living in that house.
