Laconia trip part 1

Back from a 4 day trip to New Hampshire and regions.

Friday started out early, with Brent and I leaving from my place at 7:30 am.

Up 416 to the bridge, and through customs....no cavity searches required.

Northern New York is a drag to ride through...the scenery isn't that great, and the roads are not good.
And is there a law against painting the outside of your house?

The only cool thing was the windmills...tons of them above Malone.




They are a blight on the landscape, yet somehow awe inspiring in their numbers.

Once we hit Champlain and Rouses Point the view started to change for the better. We rode down Grand Isle in Lake Champlain .

Nice scenery...a leisure ride.

On Grande Isle


Now we were in Vermont, and the riding took a turn for the better.

Vermont is kind of like what you picture Vermont would be like...

The Mountains are truly remarkable. Every turn has a new surprise.


Finally hit the sign saying "New Hampshire" about 2 pm, and we were pulled over within about 5 feet of it, and the helmets came off.

Started riding with smiles, that must have made us look like a pair of mongoloids.



                                        Losing the helmets !



Woosh...the stress and all the bad shit is gone from your life !
It can't exist in this world.
I waited all f--kin year for that feeling....you know the one...freedom.

I enjoyed every minute of it the entire time I was in New Hampshire.

State motto on licence plates?

Live Free or Die.Back in the real world Albert!... step away from the rant !

We rode into Lincoln around 3:45 pm in the pouring rain.

It rained for the last 10 minutes of our ride and then cleared.
We got checked in at the Profile Motel by Jim, got our stuff unpacked and went grocery shopping.

All the basics...bacon , pop tarts, coffee, eggs...

It's nice to get up in the morning and make your own breakfast and coffee before you set out.

Stuff cooks while you shower and get ready to go.

Headed out for dinner and found a real good Mexican place.

Brent asked for hot sauce that would "ruin our digestive system and bowels" and we were brought some.
It was "as advertised". :)


Headed back to the motel because it was looking very scary in the sky, and beat the rain by 2 minutes.

                                              Storm Blowing in.



Sat out front under the canopy drinking my ginger ale and relaxed.
It felt really good to be there. The weather was looking great for the next 3 days as well.

That was positive!
