Renee and Jim Visit, 19 - 24 June 2013

We visited our brother and sister in New Hampshire, staying in the Quechee KOA in the city of White River Junction, Vermont.  The CG is only about 7 miles from Renee and Jim's house in the city of Lebanon, NH.  What a great visit let me tell you.


The states of Vermont and New Hampshire are awesome.  The photo above is on our drive north in Vermont on I91.


This is spot 43 at Quechee KOA CG.  This CG has great reviews by everyone.  It is set in a beautiful country, but some things left me wanting.  The hookups were on the wrong side of the sites.  We had to break out the second 50A cord and run the water/cable under the fifth wheel.  The cable was very grainy and there were so many trees, Dish wasn't an option.  Even the main dump site located near the office was on the wrong side requiring me to pull up into a drive that intersected a one-way route.  Then, I had to back up and go around.  The back-in sites are also really small.  The one in the pic was the longest one and the truck wouldn't fit.  The host did say we could park at another site which was great.  The WiFi was really good.  We didn't stay at the CG much, so it wasn't too bad.  Pretty CG, but could use some re-work.





The 4 pics above are at Ray's Lobster Pound.  This was our second time here on two visits to New Hampshire.  Ray's is located near Hampton Beach on coast of New Hampshire.  This will be a regular stop on all future visits I do believe.  Great food at a great location.



An old church in Kennebunk, ME.  This was part of the coastal drive Jim took us on.  We went to see George H. W. Bush's house next, then off to a cool biker bar called Bentley's in Arundel, ME.




In the pic back to front--Brent and Jim, Gina and Renee, &amp, Gary and Marti.  Gary and Marti are from Oregon.  We met them at the church you see above.


Above is Quechee Gorge.  The gorge is the deepest in Vermont, formed by glacial activity approximately 13,000 years ago. You can look down at the Ottauquechee River, flowing 165 feet below viewing points along Route 4.




Jeff and his family own Sugarbush Farm, known for their very tasty Maple syrup.  Jeff is good friends with Renee and Jim and a really nice guy.  We got to meet him and several other good buds at a BBQ Renee and Jim threw the day before we left.
