Headed home on a cool November afternoon I took the Kancamagus Highway (Rte 112) east of Lincoln New Hampshire and as I climbed I saw this view in my mirror so pulled off the road to capture the light breaking through the clouds in the distance. Once foliage has fallen, the scenic vista views are more prevalent.
From Wikipedia is some history about the Kancamagus Highway ..."The Kancamagus Highway opened in August 1959, after two dead-end stretches of road were linked,[5] creating a connection between US 3 in Lincoln and NH 16 in Conway. Locally known as "The Kanc", the road was paved in 1964,[6] and in the winter of 1966–67 it was plowed for the first time.[7]
The highway is named after Kancamagus (pronounced "cain-kah-MAW-gus", "Fearless One", third and final sagamore of the Penacook Confederacy of Native American tribes. Nephew of Wonalancet and grandson of Passaconaway, Kancamagus ruled what is now southern New Hampshire. After English settlers arrested a number of Pennacook tribe members, he was forced to make the decision in 1691 to move north into upper New Hampshire and what is now Quebec, Canada. "
I was born before this paved road was made and do remember traveling North on Rte 3 from Lincoln before the area was developed as it is today, I still have some pictures I got from old family photo albums of these times.
