Castle in the Clouds - Chapomis_imp - 06-24-2016

Headed north yesterday to the Lake Winnipesaukee area. On the way there we stopped at the Canterbury Shaker Village, pretty interesting, sorry no pictures Sad Today we rode around the south end of the lake, a lot of very nice riding in the area. Especially nice as there really wasn't much traffic, it being a week day and off season. Perfect weather, mid 70s, clear sky's and no humidity !

Stopped in Wolfboro, Americas first resort town (according to Wolfboro) and had a great lunch. Then off to the Castle in the Clouds (worth googling, to tired to give you the history)

This is the road up the mountain

Lovely photos Alan. I envy your weather, 98 and high humidity here today. So hot and humid you feel as though you can't breathe. Supposed to hit 101 here tomorrow so I will be inside, enjoying Carrier's great invention and watching Motogp highlights.

RE: Castle in the Clouds - Rocky_imp - 06-24-2016

Great pictures and a lovely part of the state.
I've been there several times, but alas, by car Sad

RE: Castle in the Clouds - the Ferret - 06-24-2016

Great pics. I really like the second one down. I also like that wooden boat in the museum, although I have no desire to be out on water in one ( I am a land lubbing mountain person). Just think it's a neat looking boat.

Those wooden lake boats are gourgous, but I wouldn't want to varnish them every year. My father was known on Nantucket as Captain Seaweed, he took away any desire I might of had to be a boater.

Great photos, Chapomis. You're getting about a bit. What are you riding on this trip?

2up this weekend, so we're riding the Spyder. Cruising (in a boat) on Squam lake now.

RE: Castle in the Clouds - Cormanus - 06-26-2016

Enjoy the cruise and keep away from the varnish!

RE: Castle in the Clouds - Chapomis_imp - 06-26-2016

Saw lots of Loons on the lake, reminded me of the Rally Big Grin
