Heather and I recently returned from a 2-week road trip around New England. Unfortunately, we used a rental car and not our Xterra, so we stayed on pavement, but we did our best to take the smallest backroads we could find. We started our trip by flying in to Boston, staying at an airport hotel; picked up a rental car (a Chevy Impala POS Edition) the next morning and headed straight for New Hampshire.

Our first stop was a place called America's Stonehenge. Lots of interesting rock arrangements and structures. We only wish Mitch could have been along to explain it all to us. This is called the Sacrificial Table.

From there we drove across the bottom of New Hampshire and in to Vermont, where spent 2 nights in the little town of Grafton. Very nice place, with a cheddar cheese factory, and generally really good food. The fall colors were great too.

From Grafton we headed back east and into New Hampshire, driving north along the Connecticut River, checking out the scenery and covered bridges along the way. Here's the Cornish-Windsor Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the US.

In the White Mountains of New Hampshire we stopped at Franconia Notch State Park and toured The Flume, a narrow cut in the rocks with water rushing along at the bottom, and a narrow wooden walkway perched on the side of the rock.
