We found the Lodge, which was nestled right along the river perched atop boulders the size of Mack Trucks. Covered bridges along the edge of the road make you think you’re looking at a postcard and if we wouldn’t have even stayed the night or visited the Flume Gorge, I’d have been content with just the beautiful afternoon drive. Along the drive me made a few stops at various antique shops and roadside attractions. Liberty Lodging and booked us a quaint little 2 bedroom cabin right on the Pemigewasset River. While we drove, Cindy called ahead to Mt. It looked like we were about two weeks early to get the color change so many come to this area to witness, but seeing how dense the mountain sides are covered in big, leafy trees, it was put on our bucket list to re-visit this area later in the fall. It keeps us going slow enough that you can pull over easily if need be, and you can absorb the beauty of the blooming meadows leading up to the mountain sides that would soon be ablaze with changing leaves and bright fall colors. I do love that the speed limits in these areas are only 35-40mph. Small villages that make Cedar Key look big, and small farmsteads that reminded me of the cover of a Mother Earth News magazine.

So we packed up their conversion van with a cooler full of food, drinks and loaded the camera gear for a few hour drive through some of the most scenic back country roads I’ve seen in years.
We looked it up and both Cindy and I instantly said “ Yes, we want to go there!” They spoke of a small attraction called ‘ The Flume Gorge‘ and both of them got excited as they described past trips there with their kids when the kids were younger and living at home. Since Scott and Karen live along the coast, and see it on a daily basis, they suggested that we venture inland and take a drive up to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. While visiting Scott & Karen in Maine, we asked them what they would do if they had a few days off of work? Asking most of our friends who knew of Maine and the New England Coastline, they all mentioned various towns and coastal destinations to visit.
