Places in Between - #4 of 5

Entering NH and the White Mountains

At the summit, the Appalachian Trail (AT) crosses the highway

After an extreme day in the saddle, we reach North Woodstock and chowdown at the Woodstock Inn

One of the best meals on the road

A couple cute signs

Note the Kancamagus Hwy pancake at the Flapjack Pancake House

Kancamagus Hwy, leading to the last big mountain pass

Rest-stop at the summit . . . crossing the White Mountains

Great job Bob!

Another great diner with awesome cookies

Time for pie!
