• Drives
  • Avoid the typical roads (93 North, Route 16, The Kanc, Lincoln, North Conway) none of the info we are going to give you includes any of those areas. 
  • Mike’s best drives
    • Early Season - Grafton Notch via 95 North Route 26 - go through Newry and Bethel from the Boston Area. Explain why this is good. Easy pull offs from the Grafton Notch area. Go up as far at Dixville Notch. Come via Route 5 into Fryberg. Solid 8 hour day - Stop in Newry, Bethel, Fryburg, Cornish Maine. 3 or 4 pull offs on Grafton Notch
    • Mid Season - Grafton Turnpike/Dartmouth Skiway - take to Route 10, drive to 25a, connect to Route 3a and drive into Franklin and then out 93 south near Concord
    • Other places to go - 113 in Tamworth, 
    • Stomp best Drives - Rt 118 from Woodstock over to rt 25 Warren; Rt 116 from Benton to Franconia. Try some more rugged mountain roads such as Sandwich Notch Road( assuming you have a suitable vehicle)
    • Rt. 3 north to Whitefield, Lancaster. Rt. 110 as it passes Stark, and follows the Ammonoosuc River
