Today was once again a travel day. We drove all of 30 miles from Twin Mountains to Glen, New Hampshire, but that 30 miles was one of the prettiest drives we have taken on this tour. Shortly after leaving Twin Mountains we came to the Crawford Notch and 4 miles of 13% grade. 
It was a very steep downhill ride with high mountains on both sides. About half way down we passed two lakes and a waterfall.
Silver Cascade Waterfall
The sunlight sparkled off the water and made the foliage simple glow. It was amazing.
The short trip to Glen brought us to the Glen Ellis Campground - winner of the most beautiful campground in New Hampshire award. It is a nice campground. There is a Winnebago rally going on here with about 25 Winnebago motorhomes lined up in a big square. We are all parked in a field next to them. We have long extension cords strung out to our rigs and we have "daisy-chained" the water to our rigs. Everything seems to work fine. If only they had wifi at the campsites!
After we set up, I took Jenna into North Conway to get a manicure and then we went to the grocery store. Groceries are certainly higher here than in Texas! Following our grocery run we drove back up to Crrawford Notch to take some pictures. We couldn't stop this morning because of all the traffic. The leaves are at their peak right now and the "leaf-peepers" are thick. It was beautiful weather today as well and that added to the crowds.
When we got back to the campground I fixed chicken and brats on the grill and Jenna fixed the trimmings for dinner. After dinner our group got together for a campfire. We also made smores and doughboys - um um good! A doughboy is a biscuit spread on a dowel rod and then cooked in the campfire. Once it is done you slide it off the dowel and fill it with chocolate, pudding, marshmellows, whipped cream, etc. They are delicious. We had a good time sitting around the campfire and visiting.
Tomorrow we take a ride on the Scenic Conway Railroad and go on a moose hunt! I'll report on that tomorrow. Until then,
Happy Trails!
