We continued to cross northern New England. From Bethel we crossed into New Hampshire and went to the base of the road up Mt Washington. Dave has wanted to do this road on several other occasions but the weather was always bad. This trip was no different. It was raining at the base and close to freezing at the summit. We passed on Mt Washington and drove on to Conway and made our way slowly through 4th of July traffic to the turn off for the Kanamungus Highway (Route 112).
We had sunshine all the way up the east side of the mountains. When we looked west at the summet we were met with black clouds of a nasty thunder storm coming up the valley. We quickly doned rain gear and had a rather scary trip down to Lincoln in a very heavy rain. In Lincoln we stopped for lunch and their 4th of July parade that closed the only road out of town.
We let the GPS take us over two more sets of mountains ranges on some great back roads to Killington Vermont. In Killington Bev wanted to show her bike to Susie who manages the Timeshares where we have our ski vacations. Susie and her husband have a bike. We stopped off to see what our timeshare (Swiss) Chalet looks like in summer.
From Killington we went on to Lake George New York where the long weekend traffic was really heavy. We headed north on route 9N to get away from the crowds and ended up stopping in Ticonderoga. On July 6th we finished crossing the mountains and stopped in Watertown NY.
