Monday and Tuesday evening we stayed in Tobyhanna PA and took a short rest. Tom played golf at Jack Frost National golf course. A fun and demanding day. While Tom was gone, Alice had a couple of visitors. They didn't run away but stood there kind of inquisitively.
On Wednesday we traveled to Deep River to visit Dan and Carol Kus. We stayed the evening at their home!!!, Endless Summer, located in Deep River CT, and had a wonderful visit.
After doing some catching up from the last time we saw them (3 years) we went for a ride.
We went up the Connecticut River for a bit to get a closer look at the Gillette Castle. It was built for William Gillette, an actor and since has been included on the national historic register and is part of a state park. Gillette Castle
On the turn around, we had a new Pilot??? Caught Grammie in the Captain's chair. Looks like she is enjoying it a little too much.
Good thing we had to go slow. 5 mph...no wake speed
The colors still aren't at the peak yet but getting close.
We finally arrived in Essex...a nice small town some would call the Best Small Town in America
Essex Essex (Pettipaug) was the site of a British Raid in 1814.
Connecticut River Museum below.
After the raid, 24 houses were left intact and remain today, including the Griswold Inn (aka The Gris).
Enjoying the late afternoon walk through town. What do you suppose the trick or treater's get in this town...the whole bag of candy??
We enjoyed an evening meal at the Gris before heading back to the slip after dark. No, Grammie wasn't steering for this part.
Sleeping on board was great, no one was rocking the boat.
