The rain has us hunkered down in our tents until Devin arrived in his minivan with some hot coffee and energy bars. Thanks Devin!

Luckily the campground had a pop up canopy we could stand under until the rain let … Read the rest

The Cross Vermont Trail is not to be taken literally, it’s more of a “route” with parts of it – I would guess 1/3 actual trail. The trail had a closed sign “due to flood damage” but it was super … Read the rest

The campground store opened early so we bought them out of chocolate milk. It was a delicious second breakfast (after the first of oatmeal).

We learned they don’t call them “passes” over the mountains they call them “notches” (more research … Read the rest

As usual, before leaving camp we filled up our water containers, but for the first time, the water came from a spring, where it flowed continuously with no valve. Amazing that they have so much water here!

I’m still getting used to stores/restaurants “shutting down for the season”. Steve and I bought a bagel from the soccer moms on the side of the road. I’ve never had a pumpkin french toast bagel before. It took us a … Read the rest

Dennis, the waiter at Red’s restaurant entertained us with his stories and antics. He was born and raised in Albania – I’ve never known anyone from Albania. We didn’t get far before we met John outside the restaurant. He lived … Read the rest

We went to our first Dunkin Donuts, a northeastern staple, (they now call themselves just “Dunkin”). It seems they have special procedures when you order. I had to specify my drink up front and THEY add the cream.

We stood out a bit among the locals at Sunshine Cafe. The “Hungry Man” breakfast seemed like an obvious choice. We charged our batteries while we ate. Brent visited the Vietnamese Mall nearby while Steve went for the fluff-n-fold service … Read the rest

We had a nice breakfast at Cafe Chew and crossed the bridge to leave Cape Cod.

We stopped to see Plymouth Rock dated 1620. A guide told us it took 3 tries for the crew to find the rock and … Read the rest

You wouldn’t think Fairway Pizzeria would have a good breakfast but they did. We met a busker named Harrison playing his guitar outside. His tip jar was a toddler toilet – you can’t walk past that without noticing it.

We … Read the rest
