Hi gang  ---- we're heading to Cape Cod on Saturday and after about a week
there  intend to head back in a leisurely manner through New Hampshire,
southern  Maine and Vermont. Any recommended camping spots/must see's/must
do's would  be appreciated.

Doug, go through Townsend, VT.  I was  just there for LiMBO's West River
Westys event and the area is beautiful.   Huge mountains and lots of rivers &
steams and camping spots galore.   We were camped just below the dam at Townsend
in a private campground but you  can stay at the Dam site also.  Nearby in
Westminster, VT. is John's Car  Corner, which if you miss you will be sorry.  Easy
to find on route 25,  there are signs leading you to John's from every
direction.  Truly a  remarkable place !  John's a great guy, has a VW repair
facility with a  HUGE amount of used parts, Vanagons, Eurovans, Buses & Splitties in
a 25  acre yard to pick through.  Plan to spend a whole day there as I did
picking through all the Vans.  Right outside of Boston going south is a  state
park campground which is pretty cool.  Don't remember the name but  easy to
find on any map.  Good spot if you want to hang in Boston as it's  only a few
miles into centre town.  Cape Cod is good too been up the Cape  many times.
Right at the beginning of the Cape where the bridges  are, are a few nifty spots,
private campgrounds and state  parks. That's where LiMBO used to hold Campers
on Cape Cod which I attended  a few times. Best place though is all the way to
the end at P town.   good camping spots everywhere.  Good beaches, nifty
shops, good food, you  won't want to leave !  Have a good one.  Rita and I leave
for Burning  Man and all points in-between on Monday.  Ending up at Westys at
Watkins on  the October 1st week end.  See ya up the road somewhere !

Cheers,
