Buffalo Now, Atlanta in a Week

So we've eaten, I mean driven our way west through NH, VT, and are now in NY.  We went across the Connecticut River into Bradford, Vermont for lunch at a pretty cool little place called Hungry Bear, had a mix up on the order, but it actually turned out better than we started:-)

Spicy Thai nachos

And actually delicious chicken chunks

 
Obviously a mill town


Then took a ride to Littleton, NH for a very nice lunch at the Littleton Freehouse.

A "greenless" Greek salad with grilled shrimp

And a delicious Chicken Cobb

That's the restaurant on the left

After our lunch we went up north to Lyndonville to a meat market that had good reviews, Libby's, it was a bit of a mixed bag, but we did find some good stuff.

Then we moved over to Randolph, VT to a campground we have been to many times, Lake Champagne, nice place.



We went for a good lunch at the Creek House Diner in Bethel, VT, a very homey, friendly place with down home food, we each got their version of a patty melt with different sides.




Then over to the Woodstock Farmer's Market for some fresh veg and amazing local pork chops.  I should mention Beryl when it spun up into New England did a tremendous amount of damage with a ton of flooding.  In fact all across the NH, VT, and the Adirondacks as we made our way west the damage was extensive, roads closed all over the place, signs of incredible flooding and so many trees down or broken, and literally hundreds of heavy utility trucks fixing the damage, who knew?

We had to spend 2 nights, required, at Villages of Turning Stone, a nice campground packed to the gills in Verona, NY.  We went out to try to find lunch there and weren't nearly as successful as we usually are:-)

Now we are in Buffalo, looking forward to a nice visit with our son Jason, Joanne, and Jax.  We'll be back in Atlanta next post with hopefully a lot to report along the way, we have some great things planned.

Our first lunch together!

Great year to not head west. Two winters of heavy winter precip has kickstarted the wildfire season. Campfire smoke without the campfire.

Yeah it sounds terrible right now. What a travesty in Jasper!
