About a 160 mile loop through central and western Maine (even touching eastern NH) and the White Mountains.

Route 118 between Oxford and Waterford

Keywadin Lake (I believe) on Route 5

Somewhere on Route 5 on the way to the Freyburg fair.

Looking back down 113...

From the outlook at the rest stop. Yeah, the guy with the Beemer has to be different...

I was surprised that the foliage WASN'T near peak. Yes, there was some color but given our location (western mountains) I figured that there would be MUCH more color given the summer we've had. So, if anyone is thinking of a foliage ride, NEXT weekend might be a good time to go!

Thanks for the pictures, we have a 10 person ride scheduled for this coming Saturday through Washington Valley. Weather and peak foliage is looking in our favor. :thumb I will post some pictures after our ride.

Well... As we were in that spot, I looked over at him. Not sure if it was a memory he wants to remember by the looks on his face!! :)
