Kancamangus

Met up with a friend in the Bridgton area, then we rode over to New Hampshire and did the Kancamangus Highway.  I had never done this ride, and have wanted to since I got my license.  It was a nice curvy road up and around the mountains.  After the Kancamangus we stopped for lunch, then headed to Littleton to see a candy store known for the longest candy counter.  Neat little store, you name it they had it.  The views getting to Littleton were amazing.  As I was driving looking at the beautiful view on such a beautiful day with great company I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful life I have.  I kept saying to myself “wow this is retirement” and “I love my life”. We live in a beautiful country and I have been so blessed to be able to travel and see it.  I can’t wait to see what’s next!

After Littleton, we headed back through North Conway, NH and into Maine.  From Fryeburg into Norway and through to Oxford where we split to head home.  Right after I turned to head home a hawk flew in front of me.  It was so close I ducked to miss him.  The hawk is the messenger – I knew when I saw him he was telling me to be careful.  I was tired from all the riding, sun and wind.  I slowed down a little and gave myself a little more room around vehicles, just in case knowing I might not react as fast.  I ended the day after 11 hours and 328 miles.  Fantastic day with a lot of new roads traveled.

Love and Light to you all!
