Glen, New Hamphire







We sure had a full day today! Got up, got ready, had a breakfast of blueberry muffins, pineapple, and almond french toast. That got us ready for the harrowing drive up Mt. Washington. Now, we drove the Beartooth pass last summer on the way to Yellowstone, but this was almost terrifying. Cliffs with no guardrails. Mike was white knuckled for the last few miles...but we made it and got the bumper sticker to prove it! The average grade was 11.5% with a max of 18%. The way down wasn't so bad. The day before they had a running race to the top of the Mt. That makes us tired to think about.. We then drove to North Conway and hopped aboard a dining car for a scenic ride and lunch. Lunch was fantastic...choo choo! We then drove to the other side of the White Mountains, to Franconia State park - a beautiful hike. We stopped and had dinner at an old railroad depot.
