Tuesday, September 19th - Into New Hampshire

This morning we drove 58 miles to our camp for the next three nights, Beaver Hollow CG in Ossipee, NH. This is a very old campground with VERY tight turns, overhanging limbs and poor electrical service. I think the Texans in our group are getting frustrated with the quality of CG's here in New England. Most are very tight, old and expensive.

This afternoon, twelve of us drove over to Holderness, NH and took the two-hour Squam Lake Boat Tour. This is a VERY "old-money" lake with almost no new homes being built. And those that are here are barely visible from the water. Twenty-five years ago On Golden Pond was filmed here, almost in its entirety. The day became rainy and the atmosphere on the lake was almost brooding and pensive. We all enjoyed this trip very much and then we all went to dinner at George's Diner in Meredith, NH.
