2023 Fall Van Trip

August 31 - September 31

We took a few weeks to travel around New England

Big Guitar

The Magic Fluke Sheffield, MA


Lots of Colors

These instruments were colorful but built from parts.


Alice's Restaurant

This is the actual church that Alice and Ray lived in on that fateful Thanksgiving day.


Here Be Dragons

Outside the Norman Rockwell Museum


I Think She was Framed

Rockwell Museum


Namkeag House and Garden

Stockbridge Massachusetts


The Berkshires

It was hot that day.


I Guess it Beats Long Island

The Berkshire "cottages" were an escape from the city.


Looking from "The Mount"

Edith Wharton's summer home


It is a lovely estate

The formal gardens were not extensive but were organized to give many views.


Mother and Child

There was art throughout the estate.


Staircase in the MassMoca

What are we going to do with this old factory building? I know let's make it an art gallery.


Large Gallery

The galleries in this place are huge.


Edvard Munch

Clark Art Museum Williamstown MA


I Like These

This was a good exhibit, they had works from almost all periods of his career.


Again, I was a Fan

He had other styles of work but I liked these.


Vermont Marble Museum, Proctor VT

Funky but kind of cool


Mr. Proctor's Town

This is a typical 19th century industrial story. Mr. Proctor made it rich, the men who worked in his quarries made a living. The town now is struggling to servive.


Where do you think we are?

The most popular shot in all of Burlington VT but mostly done at night.


She's Good at This

On the Mall in Burlington


Bristol VT

A cute town if you ever get near by.


Woodstock VT

We spent the night in the van, for free, behind the town hall.


Woodstock Inn and Resort

Very nice. We didn't stay there but we did try to eat there but without reservations, no dice.


Pond at the Top of the Hill

We stopped at the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park which was very nice. Lots of nice trails (carriage roads really).


Salem Harbor

Salem Massachusetts


I don't know?

Hawkes House 1780-1800

Salem was kind of interesting. Different than Boston but not really.


Residents of Newbury Mass.

We got there after the place closed but these guys came out to great us.


I don't know how old?

This is where the humans lived who owned the pigs. Newbury MA.


I Don't Think I Knew This

Rye Harbor New Hampshire


Oqunquit ME

This place was very nice but the crowds were thick.


Goofy Golf

We stayed at a HarvestHost that was a mini-golf business. Along with letting us stay there for the night they gave us a free round of mini-golf - Saco ME


Two Lights State Park

Just south of Portland, ME


Downtown Portland

We had a charcuterie board at a hotel downtown where you could look out over the city. "Top of the East"


Not the Best Shot

Sometimes you gotta go with what you got.


Boothbay Square

One of the nicer spots in Portland ME


White Lake NH

It was a rainy and cloudy day but we walked around the lake. I bet it was really nice 100 years ago.


Artists COOP in Sandwich Center NH

I just kind of liked this print.
