Evans Escapades in New Hampshire and Vermont–It Was a Long Day

We decided with our time constraints of needing to be back in Texas in a few weeks,

and ALL the THINGS left to see and do between here and there,

that the best way to get a quick peek at New Hampshire and Vermont

would be to just do a day trip from where we had the motorhome

parked at our Thousand Trails Park in Wells Maine. . .

400 miles, and 12 hours (not all driving time) later

we can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt. . .

New Hampshire and Vermont are beautiful,

and at some point, we must come back and explore further. . .

first stop. . .the New Hampshire State House in Concord New Hampshire. . .

second stop. . .VERMONT State House in Montpelier Vermont. . .

an hour and a half drive between the two. . .miles of beautiful scenery. . .

even the fog and the haze

lent itself to the beauty. . .

but absolutely no trip to Vermont would be complete with a tour Ben and Jerry’s. . .right?

and the samples. . .yum!

A friend on FB said this sample looked like manna from heaven. . .

to which I replied. . .it is just like manna. . .’cause I no longer keep it on hand,

I hafta go out and collect it every time I want some. . .

and of course, you must go check out the FLAVOR GRAVEYARD. . .

the were a few of our faves. . .especially the Wild Maine Blueberry. . .

The Kancamagus Scenic Byway (say that three times fast)

was highly recommended by a friend of the family. . .

we like to have NEVER found it. . .good grief. . .

I left the map at home (go figure) so we asked a couple of people. . .

seriously, they gave us that deer in the headlight look,

as if they had never heard of it. . .finally, a sweet little teenage boy

at the diner where we had lunch explained where we needed to go. . .

and oh boy. . .wow. . .

was it ever worth it. . .the White Mountains of New Hampshire. . .just beautiful. . .

with a little fall color just beginning. . .this is going to be glorious in a few weeks!

it was getting late in the afternoon by this time,

but we wanted to do one hike to the Sabbaday Gorge Waterfall. . .

so, so beautiful. . .pics can’t do it justice. . .

you gotta go see it for yourself. . .

Not wanting to be out after dark,

we missed a lot of opportunities and adventures

of the Scenic Byway. . .so we must return at some point. . .

If you are in the area. . .check it out. . .

and show us what we missed. . .

‘til next time,

Janice and Dave
