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. . .
New Hampshire State House, New Hampshire Capitol Building, Concord New Hampshire, David, Janice
first stop. . .the New Hampshire State House in Concord New Hampshire. . .
Vermont State House, Vermont State Capitol Building, Montpelier Vermont, David, Janice
second stop. . .VERMONT State House in Montpelier Vermont. . .
Driving Tour, New Hampshire, Vermont, Scenic Views, White Mountain Range
an hour and a half drive between the two. . .miles of beautiful scenery. . .
Driving Tour, New Hampshire, Vermont, Scenic Views, White Mountain Range
even the fog and the haze
Driving Tour, New Hampshire, Vermont, Scenic Views, White Mountain Range
lent itself to the beauty. . .
Tour of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory
but absolutely no trip to Vermont would be complete with a tour Ben and Jerry’s. . .right?
Tour of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory - Sample - Steven Cobert
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. . .
Ben and Jerry Collage
and of course, you must go check out the FLAVOR GRAVEYARD. . .
the were a few of our faves. . .especially the Wild Maine Blueberry. . .
Kancamagus Scenic Byway, Overlooks, Waterfalls, Hikes, Sign Post
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. . .
Kancamagus Scenic Byway, Overlooks, Waterfalls, Hikes
was it ever worth it. . .the White Mountains of New Hampshire. . .just beautiful. . .
Kancamagus Scenic Byway, Overlooks, Waterfalls, Hikes, Fall Colors
with a little fall color just beginning. . .this is going to be glorious in a few weeks!
Kancamagus Scenic Byway, Overlooks, Waterfalls, Hikes, Sabbaday Falls
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,
