This morning, we looked at the weather using KOA's horribly slow internet connection and after a half an hour of browsing what should have taken 3 minutes, we came to the conclusion that we were going to be riding in rain and that we were likely to get about halfway through the White mountain park before entering it. We thought that we could do that and evaluate things in Conway NH.
As predicted, we started getting rain about halfway through the park. The ride was enjoyable up until that point. We started up the mountain and reached an altitude of about 2600'. We were in the clouds from about 1600'. Visibility was about 25 yards. Seriously. It was disappointing that we were not able to see anything except the signs that said moose crossing. No mooses either. Literally, we missed about half the park. We did vow to come back to visit Vermont and New Hampshire though.
Today's route...
After several hours of 50 degree temperatures, rain and more, worse rain ahead, we decided to call it quits for the day. Yelp came to the rescue and found us a Bed and Breakfast a little over a mile from where we were. It's a shame it's raining, because this is a beautiful place right on the lake. We have a couple very nice rooms and we're paying half what we would pay at a hotel chain. This is the B&B ---> Sebago Lake Lodge.
Donna is very nice and offered us a ride into town to get some food, which we might take her up on. She also said if we had any wet clothes, she'd be happy to dry them for us.
Tomorrow's plan is to make Bar Harbor and hang there for the day. We're planning lobster in the evening and an early start on Thursday. We need to be back by Friday afternoon, so we'll plan for getting halfway back and including Rhode Island and Connecticut by Thursday night!
