Today is a rest day due to rain and to visit with the Lewises. It is my last planned rest day for the trip, knock on wood. Only a bad weather day will result in another rest day at this point.
Al and I drove around the area seeing some of the sights. Among them was a trip up through Franconia Notch to see the “Old Man of the Mountain”. Or rather the site where this iconic rock formation USED to be. It fell down due to cracks, erosion and gravity in 2003. It was still interesting to see even though the mountain was obscured by clouds and it was raining and very windy. By the way- a very bad day to have spent in a bike. Glad I wasn’t doing that today.
Normally I would include some trip stats as part of a Rest Day report, but the end of my trip is only 4 riding days away now. I will give a complete trip summary at that time.
