Five days with NO Internet access, and not EVEN any cellphone service! Oh, yes.
Edited on Wed Aug-01-07 06:16 PM by Redstone
We're headed for the Great North Woods of New Hampshire and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont tomorrow for a desperately-needed break.

DUers, you know I treasure (almost) each and every one of you, but don't feel insulted when I say I won't miss being able to whistle up DU and post away. That's a small price to pay in order to NOT be able to check my e-mail.

Plus, Mrs R won't be fiddling with her goddamn cell phone, because it won't do her any good. NO SIGNAL!

I'll see you all when we get back.

1. My dear Redstone!
Well, you lucky dog, you! Have a fantastic time...I know you will!

You'll be able to genuinely relax....

How's about taking your camera, and posting some pics upon your return?

I'd love to see what that part of the country looks like!

Bon voyage to you both!

:hug:

2. I know how you feel
I'm headed up to the NH White Mnts on Friday for a 4 day trek over the Presidentials.

11. You'll like your hike. I've been on the top of every one of the Presidentials. But it was
back in the very early 1970s when I did that; it wouldn't be possible for me to do it these days.

Enjoy!

3. Perfect, I hope the weather holds up for you
Although it'll be a steamer tomorrow, you'll spend most of the morning/afternoon in the car.

14. Intermittent T-storms forecast, but on Saturday, it'll be perfect for us to watch the parade and
then go to my cousin's mountaintop farm for BBQ.

Yes, indeed.

4. Have fun Redstone. It's beautiful country
up there. Oh - and I don't know about NE Kingdom right now, but this year in the Adirondacks - the mosquitos are HELL. Consider yourself warned.

15. We NEVER go there without a large stock of repellent. If the skeeters aren't bad, the
blackflies and no-see-ums will be.
