Aug 31 – We can’t believe another month has passed. So, let me make the final entry for the month of August 2010. After visiting Bennington, VT we drove to Bethlehem, New Hampshire. It is a small town just outside the White Mountain National Forest. We’re in a small secluded campground barely out of town. We originally planned to stay just a few days but with the hurricane predicted to impact the New England area we decided to stay here until it passes. This will be the longest we stayed in any single place.
So far we’ve driven the scenic roadways in the area: one in particular, the Kankamagus highway, is famous for its scenery year-round. The trees here are just beginning to change. We see the occasional tree that’s already brilliant red but most haven’t changed yet. I guess we have to wait a few more weeks for that.
We’ve seen several waterfalls in some very pretty forested areas and hiked some short trails. There are streams/creeks everywhere here. Most are too rocky to kayak down (Gary’s still waiting to do that) but they are still nice to look at. There are a lot of things to do in the area so we’ve decided to pace ourselves and not go out every day. It’s nice to stay at home (the motorhome) once in a while and veg.
We’re looking forward to checking out the coastal towns in Maine and eating some great seafood.
That’s about it for now. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
