Trip Report (Oct 10 - 12), with photos!

Hello everyone!

Foreword: I've been 6-year reader of this forum, greatly relying on the awesome advice but essentially never posting :-( Having sadly not gone on my annual foliage drive the past 2 years due to work, I just had to go this year. I live in Providence, RI.

I've only gone through a few of my pics, but in attempt to quickly provide my experiences/advice for travel, I'm submitting it now.

Journey:
Oct 10 (Fri):
I drove from Rhode Island up to Lincoln, NH (took the scenic route of Rte 3 to include Laconia, Meredith, Ashland):
Image
Image
Image

Decent foliage but highway too big for any picturesque setting. Took Route 49 East a bit and the Pemigewasset River looked amazing:
Image

Camped in Lincoln/North Woodstock NH off 112.
Image

Oct 11 (Sat):
Did the typical Kancamagus loop, including Bear Notch Rd.
Image
Image
Image

Went down to the river that runs along Kanc.:
Image

Went to Sabbaday Falls (last time I went in '11, I tragically saw someone die in the waterfall, so this was a humbling experience to revisit it).
Image
Image

Upon driving back to Woodstock, NH to camp, saw sunset at the Rt 302 / Highway 93 junction:
Image
Image
Image

At my campsite, I took some shots:

Image

Oct 12 (Sun):
Now, my favorite part -- Vermont!

Drove on 112 West towards Brook Road:
Image

Drove down Brook Rd towards Cloudland Road, via Vershire Center Rd (loop on Darling Hill back road) and Howe Hill, which were the BEST roads!
Image
Image
Image
Image

From Cloudland Road, I went down to Jenne Farm via Route 106:
Image
Image

From Jenne Farm, drove to Cornish-Windsor Bridge via Route 44:
Image
Image

Then drove home to Providence, RI. Back to school now! Can't wait to look through the rest of the pics (panoramas, too) and video.

Thanks everyone for the tips over the years. I'm finally giving back, haha.

Really nice photos. Love the sun stars and the milky way. About what time was the Sleepy Hollow photo on Cloudland? Do you have one of the Jenne Farm as well?

From_the_NEK -- Thanks! Yea, each shot is deliberate, but I didn't quite realize how often I include the sun in the shot :-)

kcflanders -- Thanks! Haha, I assume you're talking about the one w/ the big, hunched over tree on the left-side of the road, lol. The image's EXIF data says it was 2:30pm, and the others were around 1pm. Yea, Jenne Farm is the 3rd-to-last pic. It's not too good, but oh well (very harsh lighting, extreme sun when I was there)... pretty in real life though!

ctyanky -- Gracias! Will do!
