We are now up in Maine....the first picture is of the Nubble Lighthouse which is one of the most photographed in the US...the other two are from Bar Harbor Maine...the first picture in Bar Harbor is atop Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, the picture of the lighthouse I had to get my better camera out....

Sonny, that is hilarious! Wasted a perfectly good mouthful of beer and pretty sure I may have destroyed my computer. ;D

We went over to Mt Washington New Hampshire to ride the Cog train...My wife and I have been here 3 times before and this is the nicest weather we have had, the other times were snow and ice..today it was 46 at the top...the first few times here they were using the older coal fired steamers and now they use diesels... :(
The engines push the cars up and restrict them coming back down with the help of control brake wheel in the passenger cars...
The first picture is of the older coal fired steamer, and no the small engine is not broke...it is build like that so the boiler is level going up the hill...
The second picture is of the diesel engine...

The third,forth and fiifth pictures are of the cog train going up...

This picture is of the cog drive on the engine....

The last picture is at the top were the winds were clocked 231 mph april 1934...the appalachian trail crosses just a few feet from here...they told us today the visibility was to 85 miles...really nice...

Well we are headed home and these were taken up in northern Pa. Potter county...I still owned 350 acres up here that I lease out to potato growers......this is at the 3200 ft level...the leaves are just beautiful....

OU812 · September 30, 2011, 02:53:12 PM

Now that looks like a fun drive, love the pictures Gary.

One of the few things worth seeing in life that we don't get in paradise is fall foliage. Beautiful photos - Mahalo.
