Autumn Run

Last few days of September we headed to Niagara Falls in Canada to make our way to Concord (pronounced like "conquer"d as noted by the minister at the Manchester church), New Hampshire. One of the leaders of the Concord church, Phil, has been emailing us for more than 2 years to visit their congregation. So now, we have completed our promise, but Concord Church of Christ would like for Rick to return for a special meeting next Spring.
On our day off Rick and I visited the White Mountains, just north a few miles from there. The day of our journey had overcast skies so the "White Mountains" were actually BLACK. Two points of interest that we visited was first the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway which took us up at the elevation of 4180 feet, and hiked a mile around the top of it. Second stop was a 2 mile hike to and from Flume Gorge, where we encountered a couple of covered bridges; one for vehicles, one pedestrians; a bear cave and a wolf den. More pictures of all these sites can be viewed on my (Mary Roedel Shur) Facebook page.
The churches in this part of the country (New England States) are much like Northern Michigan where Rick and I grew up. They are small in number, struggling, but are vibrant and love the Lord every bit as much as the churches of the South.
Kentucky, especially around our hometown, Bowling Green, is noted for its "white" limestone. New Hampshire is known for granite which is quite obvious where hills have been blasted out of mountains for the expressways throughout the state. Beautiful granite! We made other contacts with churches in the area before we headed to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. On our journey we went through Boston on the way to Cape Cod. Boston skyline, right photo.
