New Hampshire Trip - The End
Saturday was our last full day in Littleton. It rained all day, so we
stayed in town. A lot of the pictures on the first page actually
were taken this day; my camera was unintentionally set to "fuzzy"
that day.
One thing we did was go a few buildings down from our hotel
to Chutter's, which has
the world's longest continuous candy counter (at least according
to the Guinness Book of World Records).
(Mmm, they also have pretty good fudge. -K)
Here I am selecting some candy:
Here is their rainbow selection of Jelly Beans:
And here is their rainbow selection of M&M candies:
We walked around downtown and saw a movie at the local theater
(The Wallace and Gromit movie. I'm not
sure why he puts in every other detail but then leaves relevant ones out.
-K), and sadly
packed for our return trip.
The next day we drove home. First we stopped at Shaw's for some Maple
Chunk Bread. We took 302 south, and the road was reduced to one lane due to
flood damage (which was the only impact of all the flooding we saw on our
trip). We took I-91 south to White River Junction where we caught US-4
across Vermont.
We drove above
Quechee Gorge the so-called "Grand
Canyon of Vermont", but didn't stop due to the rain.
We also passed the home of Justin Morgan, who originated the
Morgan Horse.
We drove through the famous ski area in
Killington Vermont and finally at the New York border the rain stopped
(at least temporarily).
We drove through a corner of Adirondack Park, including
White Hall, NY which
makes the unlikely claim that it is the birthplace of the US Navy (due
to anti-British activity on Lake Champlain in 1775). See
here
if you are more curious on this topic.
We drove toward Albany, had a lot of trouble finding a gas station
there, and finally arrived safely back in Ithaca! And thus ends
our exciting trip to the White Mountains.
