In Vermont we went to The Maple Grove Syrup Factory and took a tour, ate Maple candy and bought a lot of Maple Syrup. Larry had to cover that patchy beard before he could go into the Syrup Factory – He won’t ever be able to live down these pictures.
Don’t have a clue where these were taken – looks like it could be Vermont.
Larry, Susie and me at the Vermont State Capitol in Montpelier. It was a nice, small town.
We stayed at the Rustic Log Cabins in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Nice & clean and hidden in the trees.

The Rustic Log Cabins were near Sugar Hill – famous for Polly’s Pancake Parlor. We ate breakfast there for several days. Better than my pancakes and the syrup was out of this world.
New Hampshire’s state symbol, the Old Man of the Mountains. This rock formation fell off a year after we visited, we saw it just in time. I told Larry not to stand on top of it!
We saw these old, covered bridges in Vermont and in New Hampshire – none of these in Texas. After stopping at about 6 of these, we just slowed down and looked out the window.
The Mount Washington Cog Railway. Even in September there was ice near the top of Mount Washington, and we could not make it to the top.
Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern U.S., is at an elevation of 6,288 feet. It is in the White Mountain National Forest. The mountain boasts some of the planet’s most severe weather, and retains the world record for wind speed, 231 MPH.
We went north to Canada to see what was there and say we were there. Then we drove around a lake and came back into the US through upper New York.
As soon as we crossed into Quebec, everything was in French and in metric. Overall, the Canadians there were nicer than in France.
