little rain in New Hampshire

We were due.  A rainy cloudy day.  And in the White Mountains of New Hampshire on the Kancamagus Highway through the National Forest we saw at the most what you are seeing here  A little road and short line of sight. No hill tops and certainly no White Mountains. We did have a few, make that very few, moments when it was not raining.

We did stop once or twice to visit a few of the notable water falls, here the Sabbaday Falls - and they are very dramatic falling through a basalt fault that was quite striking.

The basalt has granite through it and there is a lot of very striking plant growth in the rocks along side of the eroded out area. Really nice place.

This was not one of the times when it was not rainy.  Double negative means positive.

 and from a senic overlook we saw a mountain!  Look there in the distance a mountain!

Fooled ya.  Gone — its gone— Cloud, fog rolled right in and covered that view right up.  

Actually it lifted and came back several times over several minutes before settling in again.

In Littleton, New Hampshire the Ammonoosuc River is a play space behind a row of restaurants and bars just off the main street. Looks like it would be fun in the summer as long as pronouncing it was not a requirement for playing in it. Can you find the guy fishing in this photo? I think his name is Waldo.

Tomorrow is on to Vermont and Fort Ticonderoga in New York — further west and south. Weather is supposed to improve a bit.
