There are plenty of campfires to keep you warm but wear something warm. I remember it being REALLY COLD last year.

Packing bikes with a popup camper
How to pack the bikes to your favorite weekend destination or to your summer weeklong vacation? When we owned a pop-up camper this was always an issue for us. I personally could really do without the bike, since I really enjoy walking through a campground to see all the "sites". However, this is really a necessity for a kid when camping. Especially if they meet up with old or even new friends. Now I brought up my bike to Danforth Bay this summer and unfortunately I only rode it once or twice. When we got the golf cart the bike stood lonely in our shed. In fact, I'm not sure where it is.
"How to pack bikes with a popup" was a question that has been brought to my attention by a faithful reader of my old website. Well I posted the question to the That's Camping Discussion board and of course got some great responses. Campne is using the following product by Cabela's next year. If anyone has anything good or bad about this product. Please let me know.

Quiet at Danforth Bay
Headed up to Danforth Bay today to pick up our kayak and ladder (we are hopefully going to paint our hallways and room this winter). The place was very quiet. Last year there was workers scurrying about for the Bluffs and the new pool. This year it was quiet. All the leaves are down. Probably no new reports here on Danforth Bay until we visit again in January or February. I may post some stories, reviews, etc. of this previous winter.
I recently posted my fall pictures of Danforth Bay:

We are now planning our next adventure... Stay tuned!!!

Fryeburg Fair 2006
Well its been over a month now since we attended the Fryeburg Fair I finally posted my pictures. The camera was actually lost for a good couple of weeks in our van between moving decorations back and forth along with linens and stuff for our camper that comes home. Anyways... our pictures are here:
Fyeburg Fair Pictures
The Fryeburg traffic was exceptionally bad this year and the crowds were extreme. I really don't recommend going on a Saturday with small children. The price this year seemed a little steep at $8 per ticket. Kids however were free. I'm guessing they probably needed to make up the revenue from a disappointing 2005 season because of the rain.
No real changes to the fair when compared to years past. We haven't been since 2003 or 2004 and all the vendors were in the same place. I didn't notice any new attractions.
The fair is somewhat fun and the food is usally really good. However with the traffic and the crowds, we will wait until 2008 to visit the fair again (or maybe shake things up in 2007 and visit the Sandwich fair).

Thank you Danforth Bay
Thank you Danforth Bay for a great season!!! Its very sad that its a Friday night that we are not up there sitting by the fire. We will have warm memories all winter long.
However this season we got meet some new friends.
Favorite memories will be ...
- Setting up the shed when 1/2 our site was covered with ice
- Moving in day
- Meeting new folks from That's Camping, new seasonal friends, new friends, old friends
- Skunk Hunts with the kids
- Sand Bar at the beach
- Last quiet days at the pool
Things I wished we did ...
- Climbed Mt. Mary more (only did this twice)
- Learned how to play tennis on those gorgeous courts
- Archery... (never did this activity)
The trash trailers were a big complaint by many campers but we didn't mind them at all. The

The Whittier House Quick Review
We visited the Whittier House Restrarant on Rt. 16 in Ossipee, NH last Saturday evening. Here is a quick review from what I can remember.
This is a very large restruant (especially for this area) with plenty of parking that can accomodate large crowds. The front entrace hall is large and has plenty of room for waiting. In fact even though the resturant was only about 1/2 full we ended up waiting a good 10-15 minutes. We did have a party of 10 though but the tables we sat at were empty for the longest time.
We ordered 2 items of onion rings for an appetizer. These were very good and didn't last long on the table.
For dinner, I had the Chicken Monterey. It came with a very small salad that was good (but don't plan on sharing). Dinner rolls were provided for each member of the party. The portions were of a good size. The Chicken Monterey could of had a bit more garlic and flavor. Especially for the price tag of $16.99. There was a good amount of chicken provided and the portion size was good as I had leftovers for the next day. My wife had a cheese steak sub which came with french fries for $7.99. This was not good at all. It was dry and not warm at all.
The service was good (not great). The waitress seemed to be overwhelmed (even though it wasn't that busy) and mixed up the drink order but she did accomodate us by fixing this without questions asked.
From the bar: The raspberry margaritta that our friend order was just OK. The drink order from another party member was inconsistent. Strong and much better with the second order.
Overall, for dinner the prices are rather high for entrees and the food is good (not great). I hear that the Breakfast Buffet is VERY good. Next year, I would really like to try that out.
We went with some good friends so overall we had a good time and the 5 kids that we were with were basically good so we can't complain too much!
Overall grade for dinner: B-
