Today was a travel day to Twin Mountains, New Hampshire. Since it was only 58 miles we decided to wait unti 10:00 to leave. Jenna and I went first and got out to the road where we waited for Earl and Eunice and Ron and Sherry. They didn't come for about 10 minutes so I called George, the tailgunner, and asked about them. He said that Earl and Eunice were having trouble getting up the hill and would be up in about 10 minutes. After an hour I called George on the truck phone and he told me that they were still stuck on the hill and that no one else could get out. They had to call a tow truck to get them up the hill, however there had been an accident on the interstate and all wreckers in the area were busy. Earnie, another caravaner, has a semi tractor truck so he tied on their truck and pulled it up the hill and then tied onto their trailer and pulled it up. They were 1 1/2 hours late getting started. Everyone made it in here by 3:00.
On top of that, Barry and Terri, our wagonmaters, had trouble with their motorhome. They didn't have enough power to drive anywhere. They had to get a tow truck to take them 200 miles to Portland, Maine to a Freightliner repair center to have their motorhome worked on. Barry went with the motorhome and Terri brought their car to Twin Mountains and will assume all the duties of the wagonmaster - which includes cooking dinner for all of us tonight. She doesn't seem to think this is a problem at all and insists on carrying on with all activities.
Our drive today was an easy one. 
We stayed on the same highway all the way and it was indeed scenic. The sun finally came out for a little while as we were coming down, but it has since clouded over again. 
The weatherman says the low pressure system up north is not moving out as they had expected. He does promise that things will get better as the week goes on. The trees were even more beautiful today with the sunlight. 
It looked as if the mountains were ablaze with color - it was truly beautiful.
I'll post more pictures from today's drive. Tomorrow is a busy day. We start out with a group breakfast and the we have a slew of places to visit. I'll report on those things tomorrow. Until then, Happy Trails!
