Decided to head back to Crawford Notch to see if we could get some good photos

Stopped at pond by the Wiley House first.

Then we headed to the Notch. Luckily there were not that many tourists there today so we managed to get a good parking spot and were able to take some great photos

Then we stopped by the Flume

Then we headed to North Conway to check out Zeb’s country store. Bought an ornament and another gnome.

So far this is the only moose we have seen

Then we stopped at Thorne Pond and continued to the Saco River. It was a rocky path to get to river

Headed back to B and B but had to stop for more pumpkin people this one won second prize

This one is by a winery

Once we got back to the B and B we stopped at main part of Inn and one of the owners told us that Samuel Bemis owned over 10,000 acres that included most of Crawford Notch. Current owners own his house and over 115 acres. He bought one of the first cameras in 1840 and took the first known landscape photographs

Rainy day today. Went to Echo Lake Park

Then we headed to the Kancamagus Highway and spotted this covered bridge. There were even picnic tables inside

 

Lots of these signs along the road but no moose sightings yet

Albany Covered Bridge.  We were walking back to the car and a lady was taking a picture

and I thought wow that’s a different angle.

Views from the bridge

Michael reminded me that we have a photo of these red leaves at home that we framed. It’s probably a lot sharper since it was taken with our Nikon camera. I am going to have to look for it when we get home

More pumpkin people. This display won 3rd place. It’s on the grounds of the Seasons Resort.  So they tried to cover all the seasons

Last morning in Vermont. 4 days went by fast. we have been going to the Squire House in Dorset for over 10 years

Pond behind the house

Norwegian Wood Piles. It’s a space saving wood stacking technique. Once the barn was full of firewood they had to find a place for the rest of the firewood.

Made it home in time to see the sunset

Foggy morning but it turned into a beautiful day. We drove alongside of lake George and then headed to Fort Ticonderoga. We both remember being there as kids. Then we drove to Crown Point and then took a long drive back to Saratoga on a lot of country roads. The scenery was beautiful.

The only downside was we left one of our cameras in the hotel and the one we left in the SUV had a dead battery so we had to rely on our iPhones
