More Days

So i knew this trying to blog every day thing wasn't going to work out so well. Part of the problem is my planning: too much going, not enough resting. Today was another 357km, making our 4 day total 1655.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More bad weather. Yesterday and today. Rain mostly held off for the corn maze (which was super cornfusing, and took us 2.5 hours) and Ben & Jerry's (kind of a lame tour, overall), but our back roads drive from dinner at Alburritos in Littleton, to our hotel in Twin Mountains was rain soaked and had me feeling like a dead body, crazy hitch hiker, or scary ghost guy was going to pop out and the next thing you knew we'd be in the episode of Supernatural we were headed home to watch. Out Motel was suitably Bates-ey, which didn't entirely calm the nerves when the ride was over either.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More bad weather today meant what would have been a beautiful ride in the world's first cog railway, was mostly a view of clouds, and track-side debris. I still loved riding in a steam train though, so there was definitely that. Still a cool thing, just not as nice as it could have been.

After that it was lunch in our first diner of the trip, The Littleton Diner (with our second, the A-1, as seen on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, to come tomorrow), and a visit to the world's longest candy counter, and we were on our way away from Mt. Washington.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rather than do the smart thing, and just drive the three hours here to Augusta, we drove one hour to Funspot (awesome), spent two hours there (super awesome), and then drove 4 hours to here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We took a ton more pictures today, but now, thanks to that diversion, I am too tired, and we need to catch up on some tv too. Oh, and sleep too! Right! How is it 1am again already!? Tomorrow shoud be Disc Golf, A-1, Gardiner ME, and then Portland. Should be a little less crazy, but with my shins and calves still feeling the maze from yesterday, we'll see how things go.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're up to 231 pictures now. I just have to find some time to organize and upload. Some real gems from Funspot, and some nice stuff from elsewhere too. One from the Cog up above. I'll let you know when (if) I get them up on Flickr.
