On Sunday October 16, 2016, I took a bus tour with MVRS. On our way to the
White Mountain Hotel we stopped at a covered bridge with a river that ran
beneath it.
At the hotel we enjoyed a huge buffet. The view of mountains all around us was
spectacular. There was a huge rock wall that people climb, though this day there
were no climbers.
After the delicious buffet, we traveled north to Cannon Mountain and enjoyed an
aerial tramway ride for a bird’s eye view of the fall foliage. The mountain is
around
4,100 feet high. The tramway travels at a rate of 4 yards per second over 1 mile
of
cable. Each ride takes 7½ minutes. I saw many turkeys walking forward into the
woods from a piece of rock path. It was the first time I rode the tramway in
Franconia
Notch NH.
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
• On page 4 of the last issue of the Waybill, Tracks We Have Crossed was
inadvertently
attributed to the wrong author. It was actually Gerard Sevigny who wrote Lucky
in Right Time in The Towers of Narragansett.
• Gerard: please accept not only my apologies,
but also my thanks for your frequent
contributions to the Waybill.
