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

Headed up to Crawford Notch to try and take some photos but it was packed. No place to park. Have never seen it this busy. We did manage to find a parking spot just down the road so we could get a picture of the falls. It was cold and windy. We should have packed hats and gloves. But not to worry there is an Eddie Bauer outlet nearby

Then we headed to Jackson in search of pumpkin people

The Spice Girls won first prize.  The pumpkin people below were all on display in Jackson at the Snowflake Inn

Stopped for gas and spotted this old pump. Michael’s grandfather used to work for Mobile Oil.  If you look closely looks like highest it could register is $9.99.  I remember when $3.00 used to fill the gas tank

Spotted this old Coke machine and had to take a photo. We used to have one of these in the store

Then we headed back to the Notchland Inn.  Right across from the Inn is the Saco River.  A little chilly for a picnic today

We forgot the battery and charger for our camera but we were able to order one from Amazon and have it delivered the next day to an Amazon locker. Very convenient. Thank goodness Of all things to leave at home. Luckily we were able to take a lot of photos with our iPhones.  I have an iPhone 14 and it takes great pictures. Then yesterday, we realized we did not have any polarizers for the camera.  We checked Amazon but delivery to New Hampshire could take several days. Luckily we found a camera shop in Rutland Vermont. They had an old camera from the 1850s

They also had some old cameras on a high shelf. Tried to take a picture but it came out dark. My mother had a Kodak Brownie that looks like the one in the middle. I also remember one that was shaped like a box. Wish I still had both of them.

It’s amazing to think I can now take photos on my iPhone

Long travel day from Saratoga Springs New York to New Hampshire.

Notchland Inn We think it’s our fourth time here

Train tracks run close to the Inn. We are going on a train trip Tuesday and may even go on these tracks
