This is the road to Mt. Washington. You are only allowed to go 20 MPH in low gear coming and going up the 8 mile road. There are no guard rails but room enough for two cars. It was a beautiful ride. Mt. Washington is famous for the worst weather in the world. They use the mountain top for weather reporting and weather conditions around the US.
We traveled as many back roads as we could. On our way to Portland, Maine we found this wonderful farm house for sale. Thought we'd put an offer on it soon! As you will notice the barn is connected to the house. This is very common is this part of the country since it is so cold in the winter.

This was taken at Mt. Battie looking down at Penobscot Bay. Later we had a drink outside at Camden Harbor.


This is how the trees grow at The Flume in New Hampshire. We walked up to the falls with rocks on both sides of us and a steep trail up. It was well worth the walk.
