Headed south from Lebanon, NH to see what the roads were like on the east side of the Connecticut River.
NH 120 is was really straight but as rode further south the route kept climbing. The highest point of the ride just 9 miles in 1,200+ feet.
Leaving NH 120 I followed Center Road to Cornish and what do you know, the road turned to dirt even though RWGPS said it was paved.
I found the The Blacksmith Shop Covered Bridge (NH No. 21), also known as the Kenyon Bridge, is a historic 96-foot, single-span Multiple Kingpost truss bridge in Cornish, NH, built in 1882 by James F. Tasker. Located on Town House Road near Mill Brook, it is a pedestrian-only, restored bridge listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
You could barely see it from the road and I didn't dare try to cross it because all those bushes looked like they were teaming with ticks.
On the other side of Cornish, NH I got a great view of Mt Ascutney.
Turning onto NH RT 12A I passed the Cornish - Windsor Covered Bridge.
Not sure if that fine is enforced anymore.
Turning towards the Connecticut River on Ferry Man Hill I headed down to River Road that RWGPS said was paved, but it wasn't.
There were some nice views of the Connecticut River
Further down the road I found a farm with livestock
It was Mac's Sugar House
and they had Creemee's!
On the way back I rode up NH 120, the four lane section before the hotel for the Wandrer credit.
