List updated as of 6/6/08- Weather may be a factor for some
Please check my update for 4/1/08

UPDATE- 3/25/08-  The North Conway Mountain Inn is holding rooms for us  so we can call in
reservations any time now.
 

UPDATE-3/16/08- Please scroll down to find lodging and agenda info.

Interest has been expressed in having a weekend get together in the White Mountains of New Hampshire on June 21-22. Lots of great cruising roads both on and off the beaten path. Being a National Forest there are many scenic overlooks and plenty of other things to do. Lots of tourist traps, ski lift rides, outlet shopping and good food.
No. Conway or Lincoln would be the best bet for good lodging and food. No. Conway has more and the outlet shopping, but Lincoln is directly off I-93.
Being right next door in Maine I will gladly run over and check out lodging and where the cars will be safe overnight.
We can run a list of who's interested in going right here. Being from this neck of the woods I'll sign on first. A cruise weekend is something new for me, but sounds like a lot of fun so if the interest is there I'll do what I can to make it a go.

Fire away with the input, suggestions, ideas and questions!
2/2/08- This is a tentative list at this time. Weather and other commitments may change someone’s plans as the date gets closer. Lodging should not be a problem in June. I will check for group deals.

I'm with DaveM, so put me down for another one.
 
I'll be coming from Rochester, NY area, so anyone in the area or between here and there, let's caravan.
 
We'll figure on leaving Sat. morning. 5-6 hour drive there. Stay over Sat. night and come home Sunday.
 
Hope gas is back down to $3.00/gal by then.

It really doesn't matter. It's still cheap entertainment.
Getting together with C3VR members makes it all worth it.

David,
Welcome to the C3VR forum. I think you will find it very helpful.
If you haven't found it already, there is information on posting pictures.
Here is my Reader's Digest version:
The key is to start by resizing the picture so that it small.
Save it to a folder with a name that is just letters and numbers, select the tree icon at the top of the post reply screen, upload your picture and it will be there.
Send me a PM if you are having problems.
 
Good luck.

My wife (Dorothy) is seriously considering this trip.
Our younger son, Jeff, lives in Pawtucket, RI, so we would visit him, then head north. Might be able to caravan with someone (JJoyal, gsfowler?).

3/15/08 Time to get things moving on the New Hampshire cruise.
We took a ride over to North Conway last Sunday to check out lodging. We would need to book rooms SOON to get them all together with parking at your door. Bike Week in Laconia runs into the same weekend this year and they book rooms up into the White Mountains. Some places are already full and or would not do one night.

Proposed Agenda- (Open to ideas and suggestions)

Sat. AM- Meet in Lincoln, NH for breakfast or just coffee depending on time. (Lincoln is just off I-93 so it should be the best starting point for everyone coming from the south or west.)

From Lincoln we could cruise north on Rt. 3 up through Franconia Notch past Cannon Mt. and NE to Twin Mountain. Maybe find a lunch join in this area.
From Twin Mt. pick up Rt.302 east and head down through Crawford Notch. 302 will bring us down into North Conway which would be a good place to spend Sat. night.
North Conway has lot of shops, outlets and plenty of eateries. Also the Conway Scenic RR, but that would require some time. If anyone is interested in a hill climb I could check out Hurricane Mt Rd after it reopens. (80-82 Vettes would most likely bottom out with the lower front bumpers).

Sun. AM- After breakfast head south to Conway and take Rt. 112, the Kancamagus Highway (very scenic), back to Lincoln.

Their are lots of scenic overlooks along this entire loop. Also, tourist attractions. Most of them would require a fair amount of time.

If anyone would want to arrive on Friday night we could do something for lodging in Lincoln also.

This is the link for the motel in North Conway that I though would work best. All their rooms are non smoking, I hope that's OK? The rate is $89.00. They didn't seem willing to discount for a group, but looked to be the nicest for the money.

Let me know who is still interested and also anyone else that might like to go so I can have them block off enough rooms before we all start calling in reservations.
Also, I think I forgot to ask this one about cancellation but it should be ok to cancel a few days before arrival if weather looks like a wash out or whatever. I will find out.

Hopefully we can get a good group together. It should be a blast cruising the White Mountains.Big%20smile

Thanks,  Jeff

I am still a definite and Dorothy is still a maybe.
My son in RI just announced he is engaged and planning a fall wedding in Cape Cod, so he might be a little busy in June.
Gotta play this one slowly.

UPDATE- 3/25/08-
Talked to the owner of the North Conway Mountain Inn and he has some rooms set aside for us on Saturday, June 21th. Parking is mostly in front of the rooms and he's going to rope off a section for our cars. Said he's looking forward to seeing the cars and has a friend that had a '58 or '59. I told him we would need  5 rooms as of now. He's going to hold a few more for a while if anyone else decides to come.
We should make our reservations anytime now. I know it seems a little early still, but Bike Week is the same week just to the south on the lake and they book rooms all over the place. I already made my reservation. Call the motel and tell them you're with the Corvette group and Jeff. You will probably get the answering service, but, Mr. Lloyd the owner, set everything up. Rates are $89.00. Cancellation policy is 72 hours.

Also, still checking lodging in Lincoln for Friday night for anyone that wants to come up Friday.

Looks like we got 6 couples or guys all set to do the White Mountain thing. I thought by starting in Lincoln just off I-93 it would be easier for everyone coming from the south on I-93, but I'm finding rooms harder to come by and what is avaiable is more like $140 - $150 for Friday night. (The Bike Week thing a little to the south) North Conway has room for any of us that want to come Friday $89.00. We could just start Saturday morning from there and change the route direction. The loop around the White Mountains is 100 miles.   
Did anyone book 2 nights at North Conway? I don't know how many are coming Friday but my wife and I plan to meet up with whoever is in either location. Either way we will still be in North Conway for Saturday night. Lots to do in No Conway. I did a map quest from southern N H to Lincoln and also North Conway. North Conway is 22 miles farther
and about 40 minutes more than Lincoln . ( Might be a little longer cause you go through Meredith on Lake Winnipesaukee).
Let me know what everyone would like to do.
Anyone else interested?
Kinda long and I hope I didn't completly confuss everyone. I can't wait. Pray for good weather! And that I get the front end of my car back together.
Jeff
Wish I could make it to H S. Have fun everyone that's going.

I made reservations at the North Conway Mountain Inn for Friday and Saturday. $89/night.
I would prefer to start from North Conway, but it really doesn't matter.
Not sure what time I will be getting to the motel Friday night. Probably won't know until that day.

where is this in relations to Charleston, NH?
 
I might be available to do this and i will deal with reservations as it gets closer as right now my job may or maynot need me that weekend.
 
It would just be me.

Do you mean Charlestown? On I91?
 
See mapquest.
 
 
Looks like North Conway is north east a few miles.
No direct route, but a nice ride through the mountains.

I'll be in No Conway on Friday also. I was thinking that whoever arrives in No Conway Friday night that we could head over to Lincoln (via the Kank RT 112) Sat. morning early enough to meet anyone coming up in the morning. Lincoln is easier to get to if coming from the south on 93 in the morning. The northern loop back to No Conway is about 60 miles with lots of places to stop.

I'll be posting info about eating joints for Sat. evening in No. Conway soon. I think we should do some place that will take reservations because it will be a busy weekend. My wife finishes work for the summer this week, so I'll have her make a bunch of calls.
Can't Wait!Smile

I was thinking of taking a ride on Sunday into Maine, S. to Rt. 302 then east to Bridgton then up Rt. 117, then Rt. 26 and then west back into N.H. to Gorham, then S. on Rt.16 back to N. Conway. Jeff can you tell me if that's a good ride or not. If anyone is staying over on Sunday we would love to have some company.

Dave,
I'll be in for a Sunday ride into Maine. Just got my Maine and N H altas out. I've been on all these roads, so here's my 2 cents.
I wouldn't go over to Rt. 26. Nothing real special, traveled it many times. I would suggest from either Fryeburg or Bridgton, ME take Rt 5 or 35 north to Bethel, ME them west on Rt 2 to Gorham, NH and south on Rt 16 back to N Conway. 104 miles via bridgton.
Or as an add on- Rt 26 north out of Bethel past Sunday River Ski area through Grafton Notch State Park past Umbagog Lake to Errol NH and south on 16 along the Androscoggin River to Gorham, NH then through Pinkham Notch to N Conway. A beautiful ride, but it adds about 55 miles to the above loop. Errol, a hunting / fishing destation kind of town, brings you within about 30 miles of Canada.
Rt 113 north out of Fryeburg through the Maine section of the White Mountain National Forest is nice too. Ends up on Rt 2 between Bethel and Gorham.
I'm game for wherever you guys would like to go.

Wish we could have waited but unfortunately we had to come home for the burial ceremony of my father-in-law.  He passed away in February but with 100 plus inches of snow they wait for the burial until spring.  Most folks find that hard to believe but up here in the north country it's quite common!!

We went camping on the Kangamangus Highway for Memorial Day and they still had a few piles of snow along the campground road. The Host told us they came in a week and a half earlier with a plow so they could open the campground. Mt. Washington is still covered at the top.

[/QUOTE]

Jean,
A couple of ideas for breakfast. Are you doing the complete drive from Rhode Island Sat. AM? We could have breakfast in No. Conway early (7:30 - 8:30 give or take) Or us that are here Friday could grab a quick bite to eat and meet you in Lincoln mid to late morning for breakfast. How early did you plan on hitting the road? MapQuest shows Lincoln about 30 - 40 minutes closer than No. Conway if that would make the trip easier. You would miss the 35 mile ride on the Kangamangus Highway (Rt 112) with us if we meet in Lincoln. Let me know what's good for you and we'll make something work.
Is Greg traveling with you?
Thanks,
Jeff
