Unlike yesterday, today we could actually see what a beautiful state New Hampshire is. Today was a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures in the 70's and low humidity. A very nice today, and I believe tomorrow is supposed to be nicer.
We started this morning by going through New Hampshire's lakes region. The is Lake Winnipesaukee (more photos here). It's by far the largest lake in New Hampshire. It kind of reminds me of the lakes in Minnesota, though the hills around it are much higher. We were hoping to take a train ride that runs along the lake but that would have meant waiting another two hours, and we decided to drive on.
Next, we drove through the White Mountain National Forest on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway. Lots of scenic stops along the way.
Our last stop today was at the Flume Gorge. It's a natural gorge where you walk along a stream with high granite walls on either side of you. We had never seen anything quite like this. If you're interested in seeing more photos, click here.
Tomorrow, we get to Vermont and then it's on to New York. We've shortened this latter part of our trip as we're kind of anxious to get home. So we're skipping going to back into Canada and spending a little less time in New England. We expect to be back in Tacoma somewhere around September 16.
