Lake Sunapee, NH




Last week-end my folks drove up from Lancaster, Pennslvania. Imagine being almost 90, buying a new car and driving to Southern NH. On top of that, they are going to WI in November.

We trekked north to tour Lake Sunapee by boat, after stopped at the Badger Balm tent sale.
(http://www.badgerbalm.com/). Lots of bargains for holiday gifts: Anti-bug balm, foot balm, hand creams, etc.

Arriving at the shore of Lake Sunapee, we had a delightful picnic. All the goodies from the Brattleboro, VT Farmers Market: VT cheese and bread, Gourd cherries, fresh picked cherry tomatoes, etc. Here are my folks sitting near a Gazebo on the hill overlooking Sunapee Harbor.



At 2:30 we boarded the MV Sunapee and road along the harbor and lake. The lake is 25 square miles; one of the few naturally fed spring water lakes with such clear, clean water; 140 deep in place; three public beaches, several boat clubs; interesting beautiful houses, three lighthouse, etc. The sun peaked through the cloud just for us.
