We took a hike up Prospect Mountain, across the top, and down one of the black diamond ski slopes at the ski resort. Ate PB&J sandwiches at the (closed) ski restaurant there. Then walked back to our RV.
Today was shopping day, and we drove into Bennington to get groceries, some beer, and a special present for Baxter: a screw-in anchor for a long leash so he can play around outside without driving us crazy having to hold the leash. We also found a great restaurant for this weekend.
Back at the campsite, we had another campfire tonight, and Kathy grilled pork chops and veggies over the fire. Today is Friday, so all the weekend RV'ers drove in and parked their rigs near us. Couple by couple, they all eventually walked by our site and we chatted with each of them. A nice older couple from Massachusetts. One 5th wheel owner who is the brother of two other men we met Thursday night, who preceded the rest of their family for a grand Fathers Day camping weekend. Finally, a couple from British Columbia who are on a long trip across the Northern U.S. into Maine and up into the Canadian Maritime Provinces and back across Canada. We compared trip plans and rigs and each expressed envy over the others' arrangements.
But most importantly, Kathy put the leash anchor in the ground, and hitched Baxter to it. The leash was just long enough for him to lounge out under the trees and spy on the neighboring campers. He spent almost 3 hours enjoying the evening, the grass, the smells and the camping noises. Finally, exhausted, he asked to be let back into the RV. This was by far his longest day outside. He had a nibble and immediately retired upstairs to bed:
Nighty-night, Baxter!
