The "Live Free or Die" State


We have been staying at the Field & Stream RV Park near Brookline, NH. A scenic area with plenty of small town appeal. Nestled in some hills in between Milford and Mason, NH, the campground is a descent place for a short stay. Close to a small lake, the park is well maintained. Full hook-ups are available with sites closely spaced, but large enough for slides and awnings.


The next day we found out from Ted (who had inquired from one of his cousins) that there was a locally famous pancake place. Actually, I think they were famous for their syrup and later the pancakes came along to showcase their syrup. Parker's is the name of the place and we arrived around 9 AM on a Sunday to find a line and a 40 min wait. Well, we had nothing else to do and the options were pretty limited so we stayed. The breakfast was worth the wait and we would return the next day (but without the wait on a weekday).




Today, we went on a car tour of the countryside while Ted and Jan went golfing with his cousin. We just sort of wandered around checking out the little towns of Milford and Mason, and the city of Nashua. A beautiful day for the drive here are some photos.

Downtown Milford has that Mayberry feel. Comfortable.

Downtown Nashua has a nice historic district with some wonderful churches and renovated factories made into apartment buildings. Nice.

On our way to the little town of Mason we came across this little piece of history. The original home of Samuel Wilson, the model for Uncle Sam. Mason itself is a very small place, I would call it a hamlet. Probably a very nice place to live, close to a lot of things, but nothing that would really draw a lot of folks to trample your yard, so to speak.
Tomorrow, we are heading out for a short stop in Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. Can't wait, that should be fun.
