Free Love Started Here

image1669526307.jpgWell this our second day in the White Mountains stopping at the Gale River motel with the fantastic, fun and lively host Kevin.

Today the Mrs took me to Franconia Notch state park (after uber super pancakes at Polly’s in Sugar Hill). We walked up to see the Flume waterfall which is fantastic. The picture is me, the tour guide trying to creep up on me and over in the background is a covered bridge on the flume trail.

This afternoon we ventured to Meredith (dull and lifeless) and now we are in Woodstock, the home of free love in the 60’s (ok I know that was in California not New Hampshire, but I liked it and it was a very dull title without it).

And now grub at the Woodstock Inn Brewery with it’s own micro-brewery onsite. Oh me oh my a 22oz T-bone on the bone steak, fantastic.

Me might get a little tipsy and stuffed tonight.

Tomorrow crossing the border to Canada for a few days.

Free Love could have started here.

Maine Gem

image381084880.jpgBye bye Maine, hello New Hampshire! Last night we stayed at the wonderful Noble House Inn in Bridgton, ME. This was a fab experience. Our hosts Julie and Rick (plus Daisy the dog) were warm and friendly. Our b&b experiences just keep getting better. The whole property was sooo comfortable, tall bed to sink into and unbelievably a two course breakfast with all the courses homemade. We didn’t walk out of the Noble House, we rolled. It’s another fan place to add to the list of recommendations.

So, on through the Kancamagus Highway climbing to 3000 feet (complete with snow, brrr) before dropping a little into Franconia and the heart of the White Mountains. This evenings accomodation is a gem of a place with someone as mad as Mr Fogg!!

Full review when we leave on Wednesday!

Note to self, next time pack more jumpers, gloves and hat, it’s bloomin freezing up here with temperatures plunging to around 20 Fahrenheit overnight. Better still, steal Mr Foggs nice fluffy fleece!
