Sunday, Sept 30, Travel day to Woodstock, New Hampshire

Pulled out of a rain-soaked campground at 9:05, heading back north to Burlington. Trying  not to tip over! Rain was falling lightly.

After turning south-east past Burlington, we stopped at a full service rest area - there was a family set up there with bagels, butter, cream cheese, doughnuts, fruits, muffins,  coffee & much more - all for a donation. They are raising money to help with the costs of their daughter's skating equipment.
The skies appear to be clearing.......

We went through Montpelier, which is the Vermont state capitol and passed by the State Capitol building, complete with the gold-domed roof.


There were  beautiful colours going through Marshfield at 1200 ft elevation. The photo doesn't do it justice. A sunny day would have been nice!













We stopped at the small town of Joe's Pond, where there is a covered footbridge. It started raining while we were there.









We saw some vibrant colours on the hillsides, but it was hard to take a picture when moving at 60 mph!
At 12:47 we entered New Hampshire.
We passed by Cannon Mountain Ski Hill which has an aerial tramway that ascends to the 4100 ft summit (which we couldn't see due to the low clouds!)






Around the corner to the backside of the mountain was sheer rock!



Arrived at the KOA Woodstock under light rain, got set up & went in to town for fuel & groceries.
