Massachusetts Cape Cod/Provincetown

We had a delightful visit with my cousin Karen and her partner Arlene in Shrewbury, MA and we took a trip for the day to Cape Cod. Here are 2 photos of Provincetown

 The above photos were taken from the top of the Pilgrim Tower (picture below). We climbed to the top of the tower (thankfully most floors were ramps not stairs).

 We then took a jeep ride to the dune area. Although we could not drive on the dunes because of the federal government shut-down.

 And then back to Provincetown for some exploring and dinner.

New Hampshire Fall Colors

Sept 30 A walk on the Appalachian Trail

Today we went for a hike to check out a piece of the Appalachian Trail.

 Trial Markers

 One of many waterfalls

Sept 27 - Sept 29 We have crossed the border

Yes we are in the USA. With my desire to see some fall colors we headed to New Hampshire as they are ahead of the coast regions. Also it was a chance to see some of the White Mountains and the Appalachian Trail. Today's post will be about our trip up Mt. Washington on the Auto-Road (which Helen did not enjoy) and the views we saw up top. The auto road travels 8 miles up to the top of Mt Washington, but the roadway is quite narrow and quite exposed on one side or the other as it wanders up the mountain. Besides hiking (the Appalachian Trail crosses Mt Washington) the only other way up is via a clog railway from the other side of the mountain (actually there are several different trains and cars),
