Thank you Mama_Bear for teaching everyone about my neighbors!
Ahh the memories. Having been a New Englander for only 3 years or so, I am still in awe of the beauty up here. With my husband being in the National Guard in Vermont, we have often driven across the Kancamagus on our way to and from his drills. I think my favorite trip was when we packed a picnic lunch and took my mom for a drive for her birthday. She just happened to be visiting and we knew how much the fall colors were her favorite.
We are just now getting some brilliant color in southern Maine, and I miss those drives, but hopefully next fall we can once again drive across the Kanc (as the locals call it).
For anyone interested in how to pronounce Kancamagus, most of the time I hear it, it is more like Kanga-main-gus...you know how the Maine-ahs like to change vowels and connsonants around!
I will be in and out today, but wish everyone a happy hump day!
It's a beautiful drive, Rapids on one side and mountains on the other.
I almost fell from the top of one of those waterfalls.
Skinny at the top and wide at the bottom..
I haven't been there since the early 70's
You're welcome. We'll be taking a cyber-trip up to Maine eventually. It is on my list of states to present. I have been as far north as New Hampshire, but never got up to Maine.
Even though you have only been in Maine for a few years, maybe you could direct me to some interesting information about your state, when you get some spare time. I like to have input from the locals, especially when presenting a state I have never visited.
I will be in and out today, but wish everyone a happy hump day!
Same to you, mrstank.
