Were at Salem, known for the Witches in days gone by.  We went through the museum and learned all about Witches and what happened at Salem long ago. 


We went down to the Sea side at Salem and went out on a warf.  There were a number of people fishing for squid.  After catching them they put them in a bucket of water which turns black from the ink they produce to hide themselfs.



Were in New Hampshire and we went to the White Mountains.  We stayed in a town called Woodstock.  Within a small area of towns there was close to four hundren thousand motor cycles there.  We tented two days with many of them for neihbors.  It was fun to be around them.  I was invited by one of them to his site and we talked most of the night.  It's the same as Sturgis in South Dakota.
Were on top of Mt Washington.  The road begins at eleven hundred feet and in eight miles tops out at sixty two hundred.  The road is very narrow,  hard to pass two cars with only six inches to spare and nothing but straight down if you go there.  You have to go in first gear or you car over heats as several did.  Speed ten miles a hour.   This is a hotel built in the eighteen hundreds.  The mountain has extreme weather and can snow at anytime.  They have  document winds at two hundred and thirty one miles an hour.  Out of over a hundred days a year they have winds over senenty five miles an hour.   


Were above most of the clouds as they pass by.  There is a cog train that comes up here too. This is one of the parking lots here.  Some bikers told me they wouldn't ride their bikes here again as it was so hard on the bikes. 


Our first covered bridge.


This is President George Sr. and Barbara Bush house in Kennebunk Port in Maine.  Nice place.  



This is the famous Portland Head Light, light house.  Beautiful. Tonight were just outside of Bar Harbor Maine.  Were in a Inn on the edge of a large bay off the ocean.  Our room has a view of the harbor.  Neat.
