Woodstock to Queechee Gorge VT

Sunny and windy today. We wanted to stop at the LL Bean store in West Lebanon NH, but had trouble finding it. Our GPS had several (maybe all the other) Bean stores, but not this one. After asking for directions though, we eventually did find it. We told a fellow in the store about their omission from the Garmin info. He seemed to care and promised to get it looked into. 

Anyway, it’s a nice store for a good browse, smaller than the Freeport complex and a better assortment than the Bean Outlet stores, not so full of out-of-date clothing.

After the Bean's shopping, we had a really good lunch at the Wood Oven Pizza place right next door. They had several small lunchtime pizzas available, and the best buns!

We were thinking of taking a ride on an excursion train out of Bellows Falls, so headed there via #12A. Disappointing, the train doesn’t run out of there anymore, so a somewhat wasted detour.

We decided to head for our old reliable cg at Queechee Gorge, and took site 141 for 2 nights. No hookups here, $44 US for 2 nights. We bought one of their wood bundles, delivered to our site with kindling, for $5. It’s an excellent bundle of mostly hardwood, and it burned from 5 until we put it out at 8.

Our campsite neighbor brought over a large piece of wood (maybe Douglas Fir) that I wanted to just keep for the shop, but he wanted us to put it on the fire, so we did. He stayed to talk a while, and told us about the Tunbridge Fair that’s going on. He grew up in the area, and is currently on his way home to Virginia from Alaska, where they were campground hosts for the summer.
