Sept. 12 - Day 7 - On to Wolfeboro, NH

Day 6

Having had a negative experience with our existing LP Gas Detector, we ordered a replacement while at the Harbor Hill Camping Area http://www.hhcamp.com/.

The detector arrived Friday just as we were preparing to leave for Castle in the Clouds. http://www.castleintheclouds./org/index.html which was on our way to our next destination, Wolfeboro, NH http://www.wolfeboronh.us/.

The visit to the Castle in the Clouds was an unexpected treat. The view of Lake Winnipesaukee was splendid in spite of the drizzle and overcast skies. The castle itself was breathtaking in its design and construction. This is a must stop for anyone visiting the area.




Our rally point for this leg of the trip was the Wright Museum http://wrightmuseum.org/ .



The Leap’n Lions will spend two days dry camping in the rear parking lot of the Wright Museum.


At 3:00 PM the group attended an ice cream social in the Wright Museum hosted by George and Sue Boley. We then toured the museum and were surprised by the quantity and variety of items within its walls. Not only was there a large collection of equipment and materials related to World War II, but many displays depicting life in America during the war years. We could not help but reminisce about our youth as we viewed displays of Americana during the 1940’s.


That evening, a group of us went to the Wolfeboro Inn for dinner http://www.wolfeboroinn.com/dining/index.cfm . We dined in the casual area known as Wolfe’s Tavern. The original section of the Inn was built in 1812. It is an authentic New England tavern serving a wide selection of sandwiches and entrees.

Tomorrow we will be bused to the dock area for our boarding the M/S Mount Washington cruise ship for a cruise around Lake Winnipesaukee.

Read about the Wolfe's Tavern Beer Challenge on their website. Inquiring minds want to know -- did you kiss the moose for fun??
