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

View from one of the overlooks

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
