Hi Folks

I overlooked a better picture of the antique steam engine at White River Junction--so here it is, taken by me on September 15.

On September 18, we left White River Junction for North Conway,NH. On the way we visitedthe Packard Hill, Meriden/Mill, Durgin and Whittier covered bridges.

There are three pictures of the Durgin Bridge, one with Liz, one with me and a dog and One of the front entrance. I walked across Durgin and the dog came out to check me out. So I walked back across the bridge and was standing about where I am in the picture, when the dog swam across the Cold river, sniffed me up and down and then walked back across the bridge!

While we were at the Whittier Bridge, a New Hampshire DOT truck pulled up and two guys got out and walked the bridge. One went underneath and looked at the abutments and wooden supports. There are also three pictures of the Whittier. There was some damage to the roof support timbers.

We then drove to the Bartlett bridge/gift shop. We visited this bridge last year (picture posted on this website last year), but the gift shop was closed. So this time Liz was able to purchase some covered bridge items.

On September 19 we rode the Conway Scenic RR "Notch Train." We boarded the train at the North Conway station with Liz in front. The half way point of the Crawford Notch trip was the Crawford Depot one picture by Liz, one by a friendly lady passenger. We purchased a box lunch and would recommend it to anyone riding this trip.
