 Meredith Harbor



Meredith Harbor

On Thursday Aug 18, after finishing up at Camping World we headed about an hour north to a campground we found in New Hampton,NH. We set up camp and headed across the road to Pemigewasset Lake with the canoe. We made a leisurely paddle around the lake with the dogs.Then it was off to the grocery store to buy supplies for supper. The store was located in the beautiful little lakeside town of Meredith,NH. On Friday it was off to the pool for a little sunbathing and relaxing. The pool water temp was a chilly 67 degrees, but we both managed to take a dip,and when I say dip I mean jump in jump out.Friday night we drove back to Weirs Beach in Laconia NH to check out the night life(there was none). Saturday was another day at the pool(water temp 61 degrees) and then we drove back into Meredith to spend the afternoon strolling along the harbor. Sunday we sat around and read the Sunday edition of the Boston Globe(Bob's idea,not mine) and then I suggested we take a drive to Franconia Notch,NH where we spent part of our honeymoon many moons ago. We learned that The Old Man of the Mountain (a rocky outcropping high up on the mountain that resembled the profile of an old man) had fallen off the mt in 2003. It was sad to see nothing where his profile once hung. Then we drove the length of The Kancamagus Highway which winds 35 miles across NH up through a Mt  pass and back down into MT Washington Valley.Tomorrow we pull in the slides, store the jacks,unplug and head for RI.
