A day for sightseeing in New Hampshire

Weather was not looking so good today. David and I and Dale and Vicky rode out to McDonald's for a cheap breakfast. Ted and Wanda waited until they knew the Harley shop would be open here for a new tire for Ted's Road King.

After breakfast we went for a little ride north of here just to get a feel for the area and to see some mountains. However, not too long after we started out ride, it started to rain. It wasn't a heavy rain but with temperatures in the low 60s it wasn't a pleasant ride so we did a u-turn and headed back to town.

Near the village of Intervale, Dale and Vicky split off to do some shopping. David and I continued on through North Conway to do some of our own shopping - at the Harley store! They were having a 'buy 3 - get 1 free' t-shirt sale. We had to shop.

David and I then went back to our room to regroup and plan the afternoon. With the skies still dark and sprinkles of rain continuing, we opted for the Conway Scenic Railroad. The above picture of the Saco River was taken from the train. There were several options for tickets including lunch and dinner cruises, notch cruises, and short rides to Conway. We chose the North Conway to Bartlett ride which was about 2 hours long. While waiting for our train, we toured a model railroad club's display.

The train cruise was a great way to see the Mount Washington Valley on a day when riding a motorcycle would not have been fun. It also gave us a chance to take several pictures and learn some history of the area.

We are hoping for better weather tomorrow as that will be our opportunity to go to Mount Washington. The weather forecasts are calling for warmer weather from here on.
