We found it! We finally found the fall colors that we came to New England to see. As we left Quebec this morning we started seeing lots of reds, golds, and yellows mixed in with the evergreens. It was truly beautiful. Our drive today was just under 200 miles. There are shorter ways to get from Quebec to Colebrook, New Hampshire, but we took the long scenic way. The roads were generally good, but we had one stretch of dirt road that lasted for 6 miles. It was full of pot holes and was rough and muddy. Other sections of road were quite rough and forced us to drive at 25 - 30 mph. We left at 9:30 and got here about 4:00. We left in a pretty heavy rain and it continued to mist and rain all day. But, all of those negatives were offset by the terrific fall colors. The park owner here told us that the leaves will peak tomorrow or the next day and will all be gone in a week so I guess we got here at just the right time.
Today was a first for me. For the first time in the 10 years we have been traveling and camping, I had to hookup and loadup in the rain. It rained pretty hard all night but stopped about 6:00 this morning. When I went out at 8:30 it started misting and then came a downpour. I got pretty wet before things were loaded and ready to go. We did leave behind a 2x6 that we use to level the trailer, but George, the tailgunner, picked it up and brought it to me.
Tomorrow we go to Dicksville Notch for a tour and then we have a free day to sightsee in the area.
The rest of this post will be pictures. Enjoy! Happy Trails!
Earl and Eunice also traveled with us today. Here they are preparing to
go up a 12% grade to the Canada/USA border.
