The Michells from California arrived on a Sunday at the Inn at Pleasant Lake where they enjoyed Chef Brian Mackenzie’s five-course dinner menu. On Monday they began their day trip to the Inn on Newfound Lake, passing through the villages of Wilmot Flat and Potter Place. After admiring the old railroad museum and historic country store of Potter Place, they picked up the Northern Rail Trail to Danbury. In Danbury, they enjoyed their lunch at the Danbury Country Store. From there, the trip took them along the romantic Smith River Valley up to Alexandria and down to Newfound Lake. At the Inn on Newfound Lake, the guests were joined for dinner by the innkeepers, Larry and Phelps. Tuesday morning they pedaled to Andover through Bristol where the Michells enjoyed a presentation in fudge-making at the The Mill Fudge Factory, and enjoyed their lunch. From Bristol, the Michells went to Profile Falls and the old Route 3A, a direct road through eight miles of beautiful woods. After passing Webster Lake, the guests went back on the Northern Rail Trail and arrived in the early afternoon at the Highland Lake Inn, where they were able to spend an afternoon swimming, kayaking and relaxing at the picturesque country inn. After dinner and a night with the Beaufays, Highland Lake Inn’s innkeepers, they returned on Wednesday to the Inn at Pleasant Lake to pick up their car and continue their New Hampshire vacation.
