In this little town called Keene. Flew in last night, and ideas?

What do you enjoy? I am in New Ipswich if you want to look at a long term project, 1974 1.8. You just missed the Milford, NH Pumpkin festival. I don't k now if he is running it this year, but the world record Punkin' Chunkin trebuchet resides in Greenfield on Route 31, which is also a nice scenic drive (you did rent a fun car to drive, right). There is a lot to do but you may have to drive a ways to get there. You may also just want to drive north to look at the foliage, I am seeing some nice color out my window now and it should be better in the northern parts of the state. Have fun.

Fun car, no. A Chrysler 200, and I hate it. Driving from the airport to here sucked, and took for ever btw. Saw a sign for greenfield on the way out last night, happens to be my last name. How far are you? Always open to meeting up with a teener!

head north and look at the folliage in VT when you have time.
You are just about in peak season.
Look for Rt100 in VT and head up there...stop along the way at all the vermont stores...its a unique experience.


How long are you in Keane for this trip?
Sorry to hear you are stuck out there...not a super lively area.

From Keene head easy on 101 look for signs to Jaffrey, taking Route 124. When you get to Jaffrey, continue on 124 to New Ipswich (Stop at Kimballs Farm for ice cream if they are still open). I'm at 559 Turnpike Road, which is 124, right in the center of town across from TD Bank. Total travel time is about 45 minutes.

Flying home Saturday, probably have most of Thursday and Friday to play around. Really is nice here, and your weather is as nice as California!

What airport did you fly into?
In Keene, you're only 2 hours north of Tangerine Racing.

You're definitely evil, Elliot.

Flew in to Manchester. I forget how close all the states are here. I would love to see your shop! Went out to dinner tonight, the little downtown is nice! Reminds me of a place I used to live called Los gatos, without the outrageous prices. I'm hoping our testing wraps up early, I really want to see more of this area.
