And Now we go home

Yesterday we took the Conway scenic train, a 4 1/2 hour trip from Conway, NH up to the Crawford Notch. The Notch is  at the base of Mount Washington. Tom loved all the train stuff and we both loved the stunning fall foliage. 

Dining car- and it was an excellent lunch.

Maine

We were in Maine for 6 days. A couple of days in the mountains and 4 in Acadia National park. We had a day and a half in Acadia before it was shut down. On tuesday  we put the kayaks in at a local park so the shut down didn't matter. Yesterday, we along with many other people spent the day crossing roadblocks to hike on the trails in the wilder part of the park where there were no gaurds to chase people away. I really felt sorry for the elderly people who couldn't go hiking.

This is how 15 year old Paddington goes on long hikes.

Acadia is known for these carriage roads that are a favorite place to ride bikes.

This is Mount Katadin, the highest mountain in Maine

This was the river right by our camp sight when we were in the mountains.
