Hanover Inn at Darmouth College

... in itself because that is usually the time that everyone just does there own thing. But instead of leading us to the place were all the food is, they lead us straight to our tables.
Three long tables were put together at each end and all the cutlery was out. The boys even made roses out of ties and put them in glasses. As we came up to the table the boys lead us to our spot and asked for our order. We were completely shocked, because our ...

... Resort Aunt Diane took us to her other house which we would be staying in. It was a beautiful two story house set on the side of the mountain. There were trees surrounding us on all sides and a small creek that babbled by the side of the house which provided a wonderful sound to relax and fall asleep to. The house also had a two decks, one covered and screened in, the other open with a hot tub on it. The house is also only a minutes walk from the Appalation Trail which we later hiked on ...

... scientific rationale.

As we are all gazing at the Big Dipper, a star shoots across the sky and lands in its cup. We all see it at the exact same moment.
Meanwhile, not so far away, an asteroid the size of the earth plummets into Jupiter, and here we are on D Acres, Planet Earth concerned about composting for good soil, independence ...

... funny. The town was a zoo with soooo many people there, it was a first for me and for Nels. Leaving town was quite crazy as well trying to get back into the US with those very serious customs agents looking into our campervan which is very messy right about now. We passed the test and landed back where gas is much cheaper and you can buy wine without going to a secret code liquor store.

We are now on a mission to make it to Maine having been on ...

... Sodus Point, by the light house there (Pat says Sodus Point was the scene of many high school high jinx....) Back roads wending east all along the lake. Later on, stopped in Sackett's Harbor, right on the lake, where there was a battle in the war of 1812, and the main street has lovely buildings and shops and restaurants.

As the rain poured down, we considered just driving all the way home, but it would have been midnight before we arrived, and the campground ...

... and going toward Buffalo, NY. That is not concrete - as you can tell by now we do change our minds!!! I would really like to go to Burlington, VT and take the cruise to visit the Northern Lights, but that will probably be on another trip also. I will try to post tomorrow and let you know where we ended up.

... had some good food at Molly's, the restaurant our guide recommended to us whose walls were covered with Dartmouth paraphernalia. We did a bit more bookwork back in the RV-we just can't seem to escape that stuff-and began the long drive to Ithaca, NY. Shelby's College Rating: DARTMOUTH Campus: Beautiful campus in the middle of ...

... The Hatch family were certainly 'movers and shakers' in NH and B was so excited to read the docs. Late from spending too much time in the archives ... we had lunch with the class of '58. B visited his old fraternity house but was disappointed to find it in a terrible state [He can elaborate further] and here he is. The fraternity makes a pig sty seem friendly and well kept!Unbelieveable filth ...

... kept fogging up. It was very hard driving in the grey misty/wet weather and we were glad when the turn off for Hanover appeared on the highway. So much of what B had remembered of Hanover and D College had changed with one way streets and new buildings. Somehow we made it to the registration desk and gained keys to our room - a twin dorm which was basic but comfortable. Trying to find somewhere to ...

... explore new places locally, as New Hampshire is gorgeous. In the winter is gets to -20°C but the snow is beautiful. I'm not much of a winter person so I didn't take advantage of the skiing in the area. When Occum pond frozen over, I did my share of skating on it. Now summer is here and everything has transformed and become green a full of life. The landscape is breathtaking, with many things on offer such as hiking, mountain biking and canoeing/kayaking.
