Sep 26, 2024 - We had another quick drive day today, from Brattleboro, VT to a Harvest Host site at Norbrook Farm Brewery in Colebrook, CT. It was another rainy day, but we didn't mind since it was just a travel day.
Pretty, but rainy drive
more color
We checked in at the brewery around 2:00 and grabbed a few beers for the van while we had "movie afternoon." Love the artwork on the Norbrook labels.
who doesn't love a cow bench?
brick oven pizza for dinner
and we're here for the Thursday night jam session
Sep 27, 2024 - We have a 2.5 hour drive to Lake Walkilll where we'll spend the afternoon visiting with Janet & Bob. Janet had a wonderful lunch for us, and dessert by the lake. Then we have 2 nights booked at Stokes State Forest, so we can drive down to Westfield on Saturday to visit with Meg & Maddy.

Uncle Gene and Mirabelle are out for a walk
We also got a quick morning walk in
and we caught up with these two
Kev loves to chat with (bother) Aunt Gerry through the kitchen window each morning.

The Alaska Crew is reunited!
The view at the Lake Walkill clubhouse doesn't ever get old.

Love the lure box, but not the shadow
Site 131 at Stokes. And Kev and UG found some firewood that needs processed. We got a lot of use out of AG's portable chainsaw.
Looks like we're going to have a fire tonight

Last campfire of the trip
Really nice grassy sites at Stokes
Sep 28, 2024 - Today we're meeting Meg & Maddy in Westfield. It's an hour and 15 minute drive there. We're looking forward to walking around town, seeing our old house and having a picnic in Tamaques Park.
Westfield is decorated for Fall
We love the Hershey's Trinidad sub, yum!
It was rainy but the Tamaques Park pavilion kept us dry for our picnic lunch and a quick game
little red riding hood
Lion's Roar Brewery in the Westfield circle had a cozy covered area out back.
I didn't get a good pic of the pallet bench, but isn't it clever?
We loved the "Maddy Bo" beer!
It's still raining out there. The brewery is located on the Westfield circle.
Bye Meg!
Sep 29, 2024 - It's another day of rain. Thank goodness we didn't have all this rain while we were in Nova Scotia! It's a 6 hour drive to Mom's where we'll hang out for a week before heading home.

Tiny looks lonely without Lep (UG & AG left early this morning for their sprint home)
One last morning walk before heading home
Sep 30 - Oct 5, 2024 - Mom's is right on the way home, so we stopped for a visit with her, before our last 5 hour drive home.
It's sunny! We went for a walk on the Berlin Lake Trail
There are a few leaves on the trail
Before heading back to Indy we stopped at Heggy's, (Alliance's local chocolate store) and they have a new bench (sadly they didn't have any milk chocolate caramels...my favorite!)
Our sticker wall is looking good after our trip! We drove 5,650 miles, spent 42 nights on the road, averaging $34/night (we didn't stay in many Walmarts/Cracker Barrels on this trip and the majority of our campsites had electric and water, so it was a bit more expensive compared to our previous trips). What a great trip!
