T Stands for Lancaster Afternoon

After lunch for us and breakfast or brunch for the Young One, we decided what we would do for the day. There was a 3 hour bus tour to go look for Moose, or we could take a 3 hour ride up Mt. Washington on the cog railway, or drive an hour or so up Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast United States,  to get a bumper sticker: This car climbed Mt. Washington. The Young One has some issues with motion sickness and she was feeling the effects from the long ride to New Hampshire. Neither of us liked the idea of driving up the narrow mountain road without guard rails. I also wanted to go to Clark's Trading Post to see the Forest Puppies. As the afternoon was a bit overcast with a chance of rain, we decided we would save the trip to Clark's for the following day and spend the afternoon showing the Young One a bit of Lancaster.

One of the landmark features in town was the old wooden, covered bridge on Mechanic Street

that spans the Israels River.

A lone daisy clinging to the last bit of Summer. For the last weekend in September, the weather was unusually warm for this area. Like the daisy, I didn't mind.

The covered bridge was built in 1862 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

We took the Young One to see the Lancaster Fair grounds and then headed into Vermont to turn around.

Coming back to Lancaster and

since Lancaster is not far from the Canadian border, a welcome to New Hampshire in French.

We spent some time skipping stones. I got 3 skips

Himself got 6 or 7

For dinner we headed to the next town over in Whitefield to a small diner called Grandma's Kitchen. Himself had a Coke, I had unsweetened ice tea with lemon

For dinner, I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries. Himself had steak tips

The Young One had a strawberry lemonade and a bacon cheeseburger without lettuce and tomato, and a bag of chips.
