Hello everyone. What a wonderful time we had in New Hampshire. Mark was brave and drove up the Auto Road to the top of Mt. Washington. Believe me, after we passed the tree line it was easier for me to just close my eyes...it was a loooooonnnnngggg way down. Once we were at the top, we were in shrouded in the fog so didn't get the good views that you get on a clear day. But at 6,000+ feet, the weather changes frequently. We went on a moose hunt again...took a tour that started out at 6:30 pm. The van had heavy duty lights and we cruised back and forth on "Moose Mile" until 10:30. During that time we saw 9 of the critters...just one bull with the antlers...and two who crossed right in front of the van. I couldn't get any pictures, but it was fun anyway.

We drove all over the area...again the leaves are just turning, but some pretty spectacular vistas. We visited the Balsam Hotel in Dix Notch...this is where the first ballots are cast in any presidential election. All the people in the district show up at the hotel and within a couple of hours of the polls being open, they have counted the votes and posted the results.

We went hunting water falls and covered bridges and found quite a few. What was funny is that the brochures said...easy walk. Then we got there and the signs say...100 steps down to the falls...but they don't say anything about the rocks/roots you have to avoid before you get to the steps! So most of the falls were 1/4 mile straight down and 1/4 mile straight up. Believe me the views were worth the pain in my legs the next day. We visited the Flume Gorge which if you ever get up this way is magnificent...again, lots of steps but well worth the trip.

Woke up this morning to frost on the ground and the car. Buddy took one step out the door of the camper and looked back at us with a look that said..."Are you kidding me?" But of course once the sun was, the temps got back to about 61.

I can't believe the number of motorcycles we have seen on this trip. Tons in Maine...and quite a lot in N.H. even with the cool temps that we are seeing. Yes, it's driving Mark nuts.

No real touring now for the next two weeks...it's time to go to work. So, more later.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Terry and Mark
