We left Vermont on the 16th and really didn't want to leave. We had a beautiful spot where we could let Tiger out. The weather all week was wonderful. In the background of the picture below was a lovely lake (Lake Champagne) -- it was reason to stay for a week!
Then on to Rumney, NH to a nice camp ground that celebrates Christmas in July. Of course, Kathy hauled out our Christmas decorations and put them up in the motor home so we could "look festive" as well.
We visited with our friend Ray Jenkins who lives in Campton, NH. Had a nice lunch and dinner with him.
He gave us a tour of his home, Campton and the lower part of the White Mountains National Forest. New Hampshire is beautiful with lakes, rivers, streams and impressive mountains. They recorded a wind speed of 231 miles per hour in 1934 at the peak of Mount Washington and it regularly has 100 mph winds all year. We then toured Lake Winnipesaukee and made a circle thru the mountains. We never saw a moose. There are lots of signs telling us to watch for them.
We did a quick stop at the Mount Washington Lodge which is in the process of being remodeled. It is huge and very impressive. Had a fair amount of rain while here in New Hampshire, so we limited our sightseeing a bit.
We left New Hampshire yesterday and strayed off the interstate and ended up on some very narrow roads. All is well and we are here in Freeport, Maine. Kathy is at the LL Bean flagship store getting even with me for straying off the main roads. We are heading up to Trenton, ME tomorrow which is just outside of Bangor. We expect to partake of at least one lobster dinner while there. We have to be back in the Boston area by next Tuesday as we have standing room only tickets to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
That's it for now - we are missing our families, and feeling very far away from home - wherever that is!
