New Hampshire: Best Welcome Ever

Saturday, May 29 - As our friend Chris J. - a road trip veteran - once told us, always stop at the roadside welcome center when you cross a state line. If nothing else, they usually have good maps. This was a big state for us, since it was a new state for both of us. And, the New Hampshire Welcome Center far exceeded our expectations.

We received a warm welcome from Ray, who not only gave us some great maps, but also gave us some great tips on what to see in the state. His first and very helpful tip was to take Routes 1A and 1B along the coast on our way to Portsmouth instead of taking the interstate, where there are some great views of beaches and lighthouses. We like the state route signs with the profile of the Old Man of the Mountain, who unfortuantely collapsed in 2003.

Thanks, Ray, for making our entrance to New Hampshire the best state welcome we received in our three road trips!
