Wow! It seems the colors popped out overnight! We made our way from east of Montpelier on into New Hampshire today glorying in the gorgeous autumn foliage. We stopped by a historic covered bridge along the way. Once we got settled into our campsite, we headed into the tiny town of Franconia. Did some shopping at Mac’s Market, a delightful independent grocery, picked up a couple of things at the local True Value, and enjoyed a yummy meal at The Dutch Treat.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
