Hey hey USA - 6th October - Huttopia and another covered bridge
I hadn't slept very well but the sun was shining so I got up and went down to the lake a few yards from our glamping hut. It looked beautiful in the early morning light. When I got back the boys were larking about in front of the hut. Mikes idea for the day was to drive the Kancamagus Highway, a 34.5 mile road which runs by the Swift River and is supposed to offer the best fall colours in the US. We expected it to be busy and there were a fair number of people around but the traffic was reasonably light. Not far from Albany up the Highway was another covered bridge, the Albany Bridge. This crosses the Swift River and was built in 1857, then rebuilt in 1858 after a wind storm. This day was far sunnier than the previous and the superstructure of the bridge cast great shadows on the deck.
