Day 57/58 - South Royalton, VT to North Woodstock, NH

Vermont and New Hampshire are narrow states and we ride across them in a little over a day each.  Yesterday we crossed the White River into NH.  Terry and Steve had to ride back across a bridge to get this picture since the one we rode across earlier in the morning did not have a welcome sign.

Here are a couple pics before we started our climbing through the White Mountains of NH.  We had serious rain during the night and our tents were soaked. By the time we started to ride the rain had stopped.  After packing up soggy tents, we were off.

 

The hills of NH are similar to the ones in VT but a bit steeper and longer.  Riding was tough but beautiful.

We made it to the top where we crossed the Appalachian Trail.  And en route we saw a couple of octagonal barns, a novelty associated with New England.

 

Today is a rest day in North Woodstock, a very nice little village with year round tourists and skiing in the winter.  The campground, called Country Bumpkins, is next to this little stream and apparently it is ok for moose to fish there.
