and then you have
Jan and Lew and Buffy have landed in the Beautiful Berkshires. The AT is a 5minute walk from our front door. Mt Greylock is just outside our South facing picture window. When the mood hits we take off with our 15ft self-contained travel trailer, Raindrop the teardrop.

More Things to Eat
This is about Seitan (wheat gluten), also known as "wheat meat" to Vegetarians. Its the Protein in Wheat. Its what makes bread dough Sticky and therefore makes Bread possible. Take the Starch and Hulls out of Flour and.... you have Gluten.

Its About Food
Onward to western Massachusetts and a Visit with Amy and Chris.
Summertime in the Berkshires means Bicycling the Ashuwilticook Railtrail. In the Clouds (left background) is Mt Greylock, the State Highpoint at 3300Ft.
Yup, its about Food. That Eggplant went in this Sandwich. Chris made a Hearty Loaf of Bread and Jan and Lew followed Amy's Recipe from the Veganomicon (including compressing with Full Body Weight). Boy was it Good Eating.
A Visit with Amy and Chris is an excuse to eat at Elizabeth's in Pittsfield,Ma. An old house across from the GE Factory converted into one of the hottest local eateries. Love the Sign.

Westward Ho!
After making their way to Eastport,ME
(self-proclaimed "the eastern-most
city in the USA"), there was nowhere for
Ms Dolphin and her Companions to go....
but West!
The Deepwater Harbor at Eastport.
Whale Watchers at work.
A bit further on, Jan gazed out to Sea.
The next Landfall in the direction
of her Gaze is....
The British Isles.
A bit further again and we encountered
these People.
What are they Watching,
do you suppose??
(HINT: This is called
"Thunder Hole").
Cycling isn't always Smooth&Fast.
She is in 1st Gear and this
1/4Mi Hill is just
one among many on the
Loop Road. Seems Effortless
in an Automobile....
Not so much when it is
one Human-Power
instead of 300 Horse-Power.
The Basin
on the Pemigewasset River
in Franconia Notch.
This Pothole is being drilled
in the White Mountains Granite
by water/rock interaction
Thoreau stood here in 1839
and marveled
at the Sight.
He didn't have to listen
to Heavy Truck Traffic
a hundred yards away....
Ever Westward, a fortuitous
Lunch Camp (a la Tioga George)
was made at Wahoo's eatery.
A Local Wonder.
The Deepwater Harbor at Eastport.
Whale Watchers at work.
West of East is Acadia NP, so....
a bit of Bicycling seemed the Thing
to Do.
A bit further on, Jan gazed out to Sea.
The next Landfall in the direction
of her Gaze is....
The British Isles.
A bit further again and we encountered
these People.

Leaving Acadia and heading West, the White Mountains
of New Hampshire must be negotiated. To that end,
we traveled 2/3 of the way around Mt Crumpet
(Oops, sorry)....Mt Washington.
We never saw it.
Clouds are pervasive there.
the only such that Ms Dolphin has seen.
This was the "compromise" reached between
the "Tree-Huggers" (I surmise that is anyone
not In Love with the Smell and Sound of
Diesel Trucks under heavy throttle) and
the "Forces of Progress".
