new England Reunion

No idea if Keith is planning on doing an official reunion this year. I know GL will only be "unofficial".

I am planning to do another CT mini though... pencil in the weekend of Aug 25th. Details will be forthcoming.

Tom, Are you part of the group that skis at jacks pond in Thompson?

They invited Blake but I don't know when they ski there.

It's time for another Lanier romp as well.

Not sure if you can get there from here.. But I think I would like to try.

If you like travelling on interstates, you can't get here from there unless you go through Massachusetts. Going east west in northern New England is only possible on 2 lane roads, well you might get 3 lanes on big hills.

A little bit of both some down east humor and some holy cow Google maps wants to send me way down across and then up… I can drag on the little blue line and take off 70+ miles and add 20 mins to the drive.   Which I would probably do one of the two directions just to see the world and avoid all that wicked traffic down around Boston.

I've driven out your way a ton over the years, plus the norhern NH route, etc. I'm with you, even pulling a boat I'd go the more direct route. You can go north "over the top" of the White Mountains, but if it was me I'd go either 101 to the seacoast and up 95 into Maine or on Rt. 25 by Winnepesaukee.

Larry, didn't Marshall Dodge go to Bowdoin? As much as Bob Marley will make you cry laughing, more so than Dodge, I think Dodge's humor was better.


It's all 6 to one, half dozen of the other. The northern route is much more scenic.

Naples is about 1 hour 45 minutes from the Hampton, NH toll booth. Get off at the Cabelas exit on the Maine Turnpike and take Route 114 north and it will just about put you in Long Lake Marina's driveway. It'll be interesting to see if they actually do want to sponsor a reunion.

in all honesty, cutting across 290 doesn't save you any time when trying to get over to 495...I would just stay on the pike and pay the extra 60 cents for the toll and jump on 495 a little further down. I just made that trip. I see more staties on 290 than I do on 495,really must keep the speed down going through worcester.

When I didnt have the extra $5 for tolls in the 70s I would take the northern routes (7 and 9). Yes it was a lovely drive, but in the interest of towing and time, I think I would opt for the highway.

Bruce, Marshall Dodge went to Yale. Was killed in Hawaii in 1982 when on his bicycle, got hit by a car. He did however, start an art festival at Bowdoin starting in 1976.

Maine is actually a very easy place to get to and there are far fewer people here in the summer than anywhere else. Lake George at the NE Reunion in mid September was busier than this place gets 4th of July.

Maine is easy for me

If circumstances wind up with anyone needing a boat shuttled from Boston area up towards Naples, let me know. I make that trip regularly during the summer.

It didn't work for the Benjamin reunion....That Nautique RV sure does get around and it's usually loaded with Rebels!
