Wednesday - September 5

It rained all night long....we were off in Toad around 7:20 and it was drizzly.   We stopped at Dunkin Donuts for donuts/coffee to go and took off for the Kancamagus Highway.    It was about a 30 mile drive to get there and the higher we went in elevation, the foggier and rain came off and on.    The town of Lincoln, NH is full of resorts - beautiful places to hang out during the peak fall season or winter time skiing.    Although the fall colors are just starting, we could only imagine the beauty when it is in full explosion of vibrant reds, oranges and golds.    What a pretty drive.....we'll add this trip to our bucket list to come back sometime in October.    The mountains and all the trees....wow - would be truly spectacular.    Originally we had planned to drive this 37 miles and then take the Cog Railway to the top of Mount Washington in the White Mountains...but would not have seen much today!   We drove about 14 miles on the "Kanc" as the locals call it and turned around as visibility was getting worse.    Here are a few scenic spots...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A fellow RVer who has a blog and has traveled extensively around the country listed his favorite places (north, south, east and west) to view the fall colors.  
 
North.....Bayfield, Wisconsin
South....Chattanooga, Tennessee
East....Maine Coast
West....Oregon Coast
 
We came back to the campground, hooked up Daisy and left for Cape Cod (185 miles).    Had some nice bright sunshine for several miles.  Stopped in Hingham, MA for lunch at B. Good (Brooke has a good friend with that name).   Really good burgers!   We arrived at Dennisport around 2:30 (drove thru lots of rain after lunch).   Neat old town that has many small homes and cottages with cedar shake siding like this...
 
 
 
We are at Campers Haven RV Resort on the Atlantic which looks angry today!    Rained very hard late afternoon into the evening (no exercising today)!
 
We are staying here 3 days and tomorrow morning we'll take the ferry (just us) to Nantucket and be back Friday evening.    I'll update the blog after we return!
