September 1 Day 62 Road Trip Portland ME to Winklemans PT,New Hampshire

It's early morning and we downstairs seeing who is on their way home or off to other adventures.

Jim,Mike, the pups and I are on our way to see a good friend Brad Hill who lives in New Hampshire.

It's a 2 1/2 hour drive there and it finds us at his lake house on his patio. His house is on a lake called 

Franklin Pierce 

This is Ivy,his daughter. This stop became a vacation supreme for the pups. They swam from about 11:00 to 5:30.

Now we have Brad's son they call Little Brad on the left and his friend Christian helping Dig on the raft.

Nancy live full time on the lake with her husband Tim. Here is a shot of the house Brad and Lucy bought 6 years ago. They have taken the small house and made huge additions. A very comfortable home.

Penny is Tim and Nancy's Labrador they were trying to get her to jump off the pier. She would just walk in.

They live in a cove off the main lake very peaceful. Except for a lot of dog barking.

Showers on Labor Day. Jim and I smile. We were so fortunate in our trip to not get the rain like we see this morning
