We had quite the downpour yesterday, so not much to write about, and it didn't hurt to get another lazy day under our belt.  Jim's back is still on the 'fritz' but we're making progress.  We decided to take a short hike today, and do a little geo-caching along the trail, and we found a couple of pretty difficult caches.  We took the bypass road around N. Conway to the west and found out that it's very busy along the Saco River, also.  There are so many people all along the river, mostly tubing.  Our campground slimmed down today, so we think it's a sign that the kids will be returning to school out here soon.  We did find a couple of covered bridges, and they are so nostalgic.  They were in very good shape for their age. One even housed a gift shop, which was quite nice.  We found a flag for our motor home, when we aren't flying the Wisconsin Badger or Green Bay Packer flags.  It's a 'landing eagle'.  We ended up at the Moat Mountain Smoke House and Brewing Co. for a sandwich and a beer.  I'm hooked on the wheat beer out here, and Jim likes the brown ale, and we both thought the beer of our choice was good.  The food was very good,  so no cooking at home tonight.  We are to have a nice day again tomorrow, but the rain will move in again on Tuesday.

This is one of many signs we saw along the road, as we traveled through Maine and New Hampshire. Some signs even said, 'watch for moose on the road'! 

                   This is the Swift River Covered Bridge west of N. Conway.  It was built in 1869.

The Bartlett Covered Bridge was built in 1851, although the town of Bartlett was incorporated in 1790.  It made a very quaint gift shop, and didn't deter from the authenticity of the bridge.  It also had a geo-cache hidden on it some place. 

     A geo-cache brought us to this very scenic overlook of the White Mountains in New Hampshire.

This was a different way to inform customers,coming to the Moat Mt. Smoke House and Brewing Co. that they didn't allow smoking on the premises.
