Today we headed further north through the Green mountain ski area of Vermont to the White mountains of New Hampshire. As we move northward we see more and more splashes of tree color, beautiful.
Mid morning today we came upon a railroad underpass with a sign that said 12' vertical clearance. Our unit now, by my calculations, is 12'-2" and being a retired engineer I knew that we couldn't hold our breath and squeeze through. This was along a small state route and fortunately there was a turn-around spot right at the bridge. If we had been pulling out trailer it would have been a half mile back-up exercise. Jo has always brought highway maps for every state that we drive through on our trips except for this trip guess which state she didn't. You guessed right, New York state. I found a paved road that seemed to be heading in the direction we wanted to go and didn't listen to Ms Navi (her last name is Gator) when she kept trying to tell me to make a u-turn. Finally she found a path forward that brought us back on our intended route and past the low bridge problem.
Tomorrow we make it to our destination for this trip, Bar Harbor, Maine.
