Happy Memorial Day weekend! Hello from Moose River RV Park, Vermont. Spring is a lovely time to be in New England. This week we enjoyed staying in several places in New Hampshire and Vermont.
Before leaving New Hampshire on Tuesday, we spent Sunday driving in the White Mountains. We specifically wanted to see the Old Man in the Mountain and the historic Washington Inn. The drive was beautiful.
On Wednesday morning we took off for a 25 mile bike ride along Lake Champlain and the Colchester Causeway.
We arrived at Moose River Campground and found our spot nestled up against Moose River. The picture below shows our view from the door of our RV.
We are in Moose River until Tuesday morning, when we drive to Acadia National Park, located on the coast of Maine. Thank you for checking in with us. WiFi may be sketchy for the next week as we stay at the park and then head into Canada. Thank you for checking in with us.
Before leaving New Hampshire on Tuesday, we spent Sunday driving in the White Mountains. We specifically wanted to see the Old Man in the Mountain and the historic Washington Inn. The drive was beautiful.
The "Old Man In The Mountain" was the profile of what looked like an older man at the left edge of this mountain top picture. Weather erosion has erased the old man, but New Hampshire still uses the profile on their state road signs. Hawthorne wrote a story about the old man in the mountain, making it famous.
The White Mountains are made of granite, giving the State the name: Granite State.
The Washington Inn
This grand hotel was the scene of the 1944 meeting of 46 nations that eventually became The International Monetary Fund.
It is truly a beautiful hotel.

We left New Hampshire for Vermont on Tuesday morning. Our drive was spectacular on this beautiful, blue sky day. How glad we are to have our 24 foot RV for the very narrow roads of New England.
No shoulders on many of the roads.
Hello Vermont
Our stop for three nights was Lone Pine RV Park in Colchester, Vermont. We arrived on Tuesday and took a trip into nearby Burlington to see Lake Champlain.

On Wednesday morning we took off for a 25 mile bike ride along Lake Champlain and the Colchester Causeway.
On the Causeway, where we had Lake Champlain on either side of the 14 foot wide road for cyclists.
In nearby Burlington, Vermont, we dropped in for an afternoon of Pickleball. There were two courts with around 25 people playing. Such a friendly group, they were most welcoming and interested in our travels.
We left Colchester on Friday morning for the 90 mile drive across Vermont, to the "Northeast Kingdom" (yes, that is what they call it) and the shire of the area, St. Johnsbury. The drive was a wet one, but we saw some beautiful scenery along the way.
As we passed through Montpelier, we spied the capital building with the gold dome.
