[6/21/08] White Mountains, New Hampshire Get-toGet

Do you mean Charlestown? On I91?

Here is the Mapquest route.

I'm green with envy!!  Born and raise in NH we would love to join you!! Can't make it however.   

I'll be in No Conway on Friday also. I was thinking that whoever arrives in No Conway Friday night that we could head over to Lincoln (via the Kank RT 112) Sat. morning early enough to meet anyone coming up in the morning. Lincoln is easier to get to if coming from the south on 93 in the morning. The northern loop back to No Conway is about 60 miles with lots of places to stop.

I'll be posting info about eating joints for Sat. evening in No. Conway soon. I think we should do some place that will take reservations because it will be a busy weekend. My wife finishes work for the summer this week, so I'll have her make a bunch of calls.

I was thinking of taking a ride on Sunday into Maine, S. to Rt. 302 then east to Bridgton then up Rt. 117, then Rt. 26 and then west back into N.H. to Gorham, then S. on Rt.16 back to N. Conway. Jeff can you tell me if that's a good ride or not. If anyone is staying over on Sunday we would love to have some company.

Dave,
I'll be in for a Sunday ride into Maine. Just got my Maine and N H altas out. I've been on all these roads, so here's my 2 cents.
I wouldn't go over to Rt. 26. Nothing real special, traveled it many times. I would suggest from either Fryeburg or Bridgton, ME take Rt 5 or 35 north to Bethel, ME them west on Rt 2 to Gorham, NH and south on Rt 16 back to N Conway. 104 miles via bridgton.
Or as an add on- Rt 26 north out of Bethel past Sunday River Ski area through Grafton Notch State Park past Umbagog Lake to Errol NH and south on 16 along the Androscoggin River to Gorham, NH then through Pinkham Notch to N Conway. A beautiful ride, but it adds about 55 miles to the above loop. Errol, a hunting / fishing destation kind of town, brings you within about 30 miles of Canada.
Rt 113 north out of Fryeburg through the Maine section of the White Mountain National Forest is nice too. Ends up on Rt 2 between Bethel and Gorham.
I'm game for wherever you guys would like to go.

Jeff, we can work out a plan over breakfast on Sunday. You know the area so I'll follow you. Sounds great where ever we go.
