Our first stopover in Maine. We had about 1 hr wait before dinner. I decided to go wading in the lake, while the boys lounged about.
While track 6 did not have any challenges today, it was fun a mixture of scenery. Never had a bad run through the White Mountains, today included. Drove through another Covered Bridge. Nice elevation changes too.
Then a nice trot on the Mt Washington Auto Road. Seems any old bucket of bolts will summit these days
The trains are neat because the rear elevates so that it tracks parallel to the tracks despite the angle of the ascent.
Blaster is most impressed with his latest sticker....the Squatch of Mt Washington
We decide to put another state in the rear view mirror and start the next track into Maine. It's late afternoon, and to make matters worse, we really don't have good intel on where to stop for the night. We more or less through a dart at a town on the map and make that the vector point. And it works out to be a good one indeed. The first two hotels we stopped at were closed for the season, or had blocked out their book. But we do catch a spectacular meal at the Lodge at Pleasant Point (Notice the Birch Trees decor
We ended up at the Old Soco Inn.
