From Jackson to Montreal

The rear of Eagle Mountain House.
The Wildcat River Rapids.


Two views along the Kancamagus Scenic Byway.

Motorcycles everywhere... time for a ride?

Friday, June 17th.

We had a relaxing morning at the Inn, sitting on the rocking chairs having a coffee, before driving to a local deli where we bought a takeout breakfast and went to the Wildcat River rapids where we sat on the rocks and ate it. I had an excellent wrap filled with egg, cheese, sweet potato, onion, and ham. We dangled our feet in the cold water and enjoyed the views. Then we got in the car and went back to Mt Washington to see it the weather was clear and if they would give me a discount because of yesterday, but no and no, so we left and drove to the Kancamagus Scenic Byway, a 35-mile route through the mountains. We encountered motorcycles all along the route, in groups and singly. Then we programmed Montreal into the GPS and headed north on I93. When we got to the border, we filled out our ArriveCan app to re-enter Canada. Shayna had no problem with hers, but mine said I needed a test, or I’d be fined. We couldn’t figure it out, so we gave up and drove to the custom agent without completing it. When I showed him the problem, he said I must have the old app and he helped me fill it out. Viola! Then we drove the two hours to Montreal. Ironically, during our almost 6000km drive we were never delayed by an accident until a half hour before Montreal. We were delayed 20 minutes. We arrived at Shayna’s brother Jack’s condo at 6, got our luggage out of the car and it began to chuck down rain… timing. We had a nice pizza dinner with Jack and Rebecca and an evening of good conversation. We ended where we started. All that is left is the drive back to Toronto tomorrow...

  2. Yes, thanks for all of these photos and the "play by play" that went along with them, Joe. Shayna and you certainly made the most out of each day's new location.
