Country Roads, take me home...

Here are some pictures of our trip up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire last September in the green machine. It is over 6,000 ft above sea level at the summit. It was about 70 degrees at the base, and around 30 degrees at the summit with gust up to 80 mph! A good workout for 4 wheel drum brakes on the way down! The train runs on a cog railway. Sorry about the pictures as I didn't have digital camera at the time.

The weather has finally broken, temperature dropped like 20 degrees in one day and hasn`t rebounded for a week now. Humidity is down too, what a break. I started walking my dog again at the wetlands and it`s gorgeous. I took my camera but after I took only a couple photos I realized I had no card in it and the camera was already full! Oh well, here`s a couple more of nature in this place, a last of the year blossom and a toadstool.

Those were nice pictures you posted, Longgone. Glad to hear you are having nice weather there. We are having beautiful days here. The trees are just begining to change color and some are dropping along with the temperatures . We are in the mid 70's in the day time and in the low 50's at night.
Fall is so pretty here, but it's just a tease from other nature.... soon... ooooooh, that 4 letter word will be on the ground and we will be thinking that 20 is a nice warm day.
These are fall pictures

Here are a few from Georgia.

The mill is Starrs Mill in Brooks, Georgia.

The lovely lady is my wife, Rhonda. The bike is better known as the Beast.





The covered bridge is on Covered Bridge Rd (oddly enough) just straight south of the mill about 25 miles.




The last picture was taken out the back window of an old mill in Juliette, Georgia. It is now home to the Old Mill motorcycle museum.

 
Thank you all for posting wonderful pictures here on this thread.

I have enjoyed them all, I truly have.

Here are three pictures of old barns that I rook on WV Route 219. I take these pictures and then put them to canvas.

But you can see the new road they cut out to by pass old Hardy Town.
