It was time to take a ski adventure. For 14 years we and some of our best friends rented a ski house in West Dover Vermont. That was 2 years ago, so having the urge to ski my friends Ann & Anna decided we need to have a mid week getaway. They recommended the Stonehurst Manor. What a great get away. A nice change and a great few days. A cozy and warm fireplace, breakfast and hot coffee ready in the morning. Dinner was too simply... walk down stairs and enter the dining room. We didn't have to cook or put [View Full Entry]

My parents and I journeyed to my sister's house in Nashua, New Hampshire in September, 1987. We spent time in Massachusetts. The trip marked my first experience in New England. From Nashua, the ride down to Boston is a short one. We wasted no time getting to the suburbs of Lexington and Concord. This is where the American Revolution began in 1775. We drove by Lexington Green and proceeded along the battle route to the Minute Man statue and the North Bridge, famous for "the shot heard 'round the world." The resistance here caused the inevitable break with England. "We are [View Full Entry]

Dear all, Sorry this has been a long time coming! We've kinda been away from civilisation for a while.... Anyhoo, so far so good - New York was nuts, completley crazy but lots of fun! An M&M shop with four floors...only in America! Thanksgiving parade was pretty cool and was a beautiful warm day to watch too. Couldn't go up the Empire State building though because there was no visibilty... doh! Then headed into Vermont after picking the car up, picture will follow when we have more time and can find a proper internet cafe (in a library at the moment!). [View Full Entry]

Obfuscator writes: We left our campsite at Acadia at about 7:30 AM, and sadly the Ranger was already there to take our money. We drove to Bar Harbor one more time to take a look around in a nice sunny day, and visit the post office, before getting underway for New Hampshire once again. We drove a different way this time, to avoid going through the pothole ridden Hwy 1. This route took us past Bangor, and south to Augusta, where we stopped to take a look at the Maine State Capitol. The Maine State House is pretty from the exterior. [View Full Entry]

Obfuscator writes: Since we were perfectly legally camping, we wasted no time in leaving our legitimate site in the morning. (Onaxthiel adds: Yup. I woke him up at dawn for stand-to, so we'd be ready for the French and Indian attacks.) Our gear got stashed in its traditional place in the backseat, and we headed back toward some of the places we had been unable to take in the night before, namely the Falls of Lana and Silver Lake. Silver Lake was only a .6 mile hike from the parking lot, so we figured, “Why not?” It turned out to be [View Full Entry]

Danforth Bay RV Resort in Freedom was a great place to spend a few days in October. Our campsite overlooked a peaceful lake surrounded with brilliant fall foliage. We attempted to drive up Mt. Washington, home of the “World’s Worst Weather,” according to conventional wisdom and L.L. Bean TV commercials. Alas, our first attempt failed; the road was closed halfway up due to 70 mph winds and blowing snow. We were successful the second day, as we rode the Cog Railroad instead. With steady clicks, the cog engine pushed us slowly up the mountain. Near the top, we sp [View Full Entry]

Updated: Trips - activities 26th October. NB: I'm probably going to update it whenever I remember things - there's so much, trying to keep it short _______________________________________ Ok, so here it is - this site's server crashed early August and they lost everything I had uploaded - which i got pissed about. Recently checked and its all back so it's all good. I was in the Owls cabin which are the eldest (15-16) - my co-counselors were Terry and Laura who were married and had an adjoining cabin. Terry has been at camp for 20 years on and off over the [View Full Entry]

Dear Friends & Family to the west of us (that's a lot of territory!), although we are now in the beautiful White Mts. of New Hampshire, I must take you all back a few days...been busy, no wi-fi, no electricity, and looking at new vistas . From Niagara (not Viagra) Falls we drove on the NY Thruway 90 (our 1st toll road) to arrive in Syracuse, NY in time for Donna Cappellano's crosscountry meet. First we took a lovely hike on a tow path at Weedport. Try to imagine the commerce of the time needing canals to transport goods to factories [View Full Entry]

The majestic White Mountains always are awe inspiring MY family always take a summer family camping trip and this year we decided to venture into the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. We stayed in the Crawford Notch area and the views were nothing short of amazing, we were able to visit waterfalls,mountains, gorges and swim in the Saco river. I have never been so high up at night so the view of the star blew me away the clarity was unlike anything I have every seen. My kids found out plenty about the local wild life, we had [View Full Entry]

We’ve been in Boston for 3 months now and after exploring a lot of places near Boston and Rhode Island, we were itching to head further north. The Labor Day weekend was just the opportunity we were waiting for. So we decided to drive up to the White Mountains Region in New Hampshire. Its a little over 2 hrs away from Boston, and for a first-timer we highly recommend spending at least 2 days ( we still have a lot of places to see in the region which we’ve chalked up for next time) From Boston, you basically get on to [View Full Entry]
