Breakfast at Lou's in Hanover, NH is worth the wait, plus Hanover in
the summer is amazing.  Great swimming in the Connecticut.

An hour further north there is also a great cabing, the Aggasiz cabin
on the ompanoosic river up route 18.  Beautiful river.  Be sure to walk
the half mile up the river fo some great water falls.

Also near there is Moosilauke mountain lodge.  Moosilauke is a great 4
mile hike up for fantastic views of the white mountains.

So I pitched in:

Never been cabing but I'll surely second the Breakfast at Lou's.  The
Connecticut river valley is beautiful.  Visit Baker Library on Campus and
the Orozco frescoes in the basement.  Walk the cemetary or down to the
boathouse on the river.  Tuck School and Thayer Engineering School are also
worth a look if just for the architecture.

IIRC Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory is close by.  Occam
pond is pretty and usually quiet.

Cross the bridge at Hanover into Vermont and travel north along the river.

Enjoy,

Al
