New Hampshire

 It's time to drive to New Hampshire!  But first, an early morning before breakfast trip just a few miles down the road brings you to Bass Harbor Head Light Station - a lighthouse I wanted to see before we left!  There is just a small parking lot there with no where else to park so it was highly advisable to go in the early morning!  And being the earlybirds that we are, that's just what we did!

It was extremely foggy that morning - we inched our way down to the parking lot and found the lighthouse!  This lighthouse was on the America The Beautiful quarter in 2012 and also on a postage stamp in 2016.

Then we walked across the parking lot and went down a walkway and path onto the rocky beach for another picture!  It was almost eerie in the fog but I'm so glad we went to see it!

Here's part of the pathway we had to walk down to get on the rocks by the water to see the lighthouse from this angle!

Next up was breakfast!  I had found a cute place to eat and enjoyed French Toast with blueberry sauce AND a special coffee!  We struck up a conversation with the people beside us and they were from Co. Springs!!!

And then the drive to New Hampshire began!  We had fog for a long ways but finally drove out of it!  Our destination was Lincoln, NH for the next couple of nights!

The back roads we took were full of trees and streams and bridges!  You can bet I made Glenn pull over several times!

We pulled off one place to walk on this bridge which was so pretty!!  Then I walked back to the highway and went over to get the bridge from another angle!

Our final road that day was the Kancamagus Highway - now that's a mouthful!  It was one of the prettiest roads of the entire vacation!

Stopped at the Albany Covered Bridge - it was built in 1858 and restored in the 70's!  

I love the contrast of the tree colors!

Also did a hike to Sabbaday Falls - it had been a long day in the car so it felt good to get and walk some!

We arrived in Lincoln late afternoon and found our cabin - it was QUITE different from our last one - not in a bad way, just not as new and nice!  But it did have a fast running stream right out the back and if you kept the window open, you could hear the stream!  Lincoln was an interesting town!  Our cabin was off of one exit and you had to get back on the interstate to go to the other side of town!  There were a couple of places to eat on our side but we were hungry for pizza and the place just up the street was closed that day.  But we drove back into the main part and enjoyed a great pizza!
