We left Bangor, ME about 7:30 this morning. We had chosen as our destination Laconia, NH, and trusted the GPS(s) to get us there. Along the way we stopped at Greg’s Place… a little roadside diner and asked the young waitress the best way to get to Laconia. She gave us some directions, and gave us some suggestions, including the directions to get to the Kancamagus Highway. It’s a road that winds through the mountains of the White Mountains National Park in NH. We decided to run this stretch of road before ending the day in Laconia. Before we left Greg’s Place, I asked the waitress if she rode and she informed us that she did for a while, but grew tired of “braking with her face". She did say she went to Laconia for a tattoo. I told her we wouldn’t ask to see it, and she informed us that was good, because, as she put it, she had no intention of "dropping her laundry" to show us.
The road we took to the Park was windy and very pretty (with the exception of a few stretches that were kind of “lumpy”). The Kancamagus Highway was all it was advertised to be and it was a pleasant ride with some beautiful mountain scenery thrown into the mix. Even the road from the Highway to Laconia was a good motorcycle road; winding through small mountain towns.
Near our destination we first traveled through Weirs Beach in the “lake district” of NH. It looked like an amusement park. Laconia (about 8 miles further on) didn’t impress any of us (the only person we had contact with (asking her for directions) was an unpleasant shrew).
We continued on for another 7 or 8 miles and came upon a motel with a few cabins on a lake (I will try to include a few pictures). It is from one of these cabins that I write this. Incidentally, the cabin has no internet so this will be posted tomorrow.
