Yesterday and today, we wandered through the land of covered bridges, across central eastern New York, into northwestern Massachusetts, and up into Vermont.  We set our sights early on toward Mt. Greylock in the Berkshires, where we rode a great little ‘goat trail’ road to the top of the mountain. Moving north into Vermont, we rode Route 100, which is a scenic byway and mostly a great road. It was a good day, and we ended up juuuuust over the border in New Hampshire where we found some pretty great Tex Mex – I know, in New Hampshire!

 

This morning we ate an amazing breakfast at the Four Aces Diner in West Lebanon, NH, then began our trek to our little rented cottage in Jackson, NH, in the White Mountain National Forest. Along the way, we drove the Kancamagus Highway, perhaps the most famous route amongst motorcycle enthusiasts in all of New England. 36 miles of twisties, elevation changes, beautiful scenery, great pavement, and alongside a river. And no traffic, so that made it even better. Biker dubbed it the Cherohala of the North.

We can see the leaves on a few trees starting to change – some reds, yellows and oranges. It’s just a tiny few, but we can imagine the glory.
