In 2009, I realized that I had 16 states left to reach all 50, and I began tracking my progress. By autumn of 2015, the count was down to six, and I cut it in half with this drive to Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Visiting New York&#8217;s Fort Ticonderoga on the way put me in position to enter Vermont via ferry. The picture is of the climb up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire on the cog railway. I also got some cool pictures on the way down. On the day before I climbed the mountain, I photographed a super moon eclipse in Littleton, NH, and on the day after, I got a few photos in Acadia National Park just before fog and rain moved in. Visiting three new-to-me states was cool, but the drive to and from them wasn&#8217;t too shabby.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Trip Peeks are short articles published when my world is too busy or too boring for a current events piece to be completed in time for the Sunday posting.
