A lot happend on the 4 of July weekend, where to start ?
So Alicia and Chris came up for the weekend, it is always great to see them and have them visit. Cali was forced to go to the Dog Jail for the weekend as our Dog friendly room was reserved by Kevin and Cynthia and of course Porter the black lab. The 3 of us took a drive on Friday way up to northern NH looking for trout. We ended up just north of Errol NH, and Chris fished the Pontook Dam and caught 3 fish, here is the largest one he caught.
On Saturday we poked around town, there was a craft fair and we took in all the sights, we were on a search for a "Dog on a Stick" but there were none to be found. The 4th was a rainy day but by nightfall, it was windy and cold....not at all like a summer holiday. We just about fill
ed up the Inn for the Night. About 1/2 of the guests were return guests who came up to North Conway to celebrate the holidays and watch the fireworks from the front porch. Kevin and Cynthia an
d Porter from Southern NH were here. They are our skiing regulars and have become good friends. Jane and John our resident Quilt Crafters were back for both the craft fair and the fireworks. Mary and her husband showed up on our doorstep around 5pm on Saturday. Mary A. is a repeat guest and they and their cooler and friends were having a grand celebration. Patty and Terry who have been here the past 5 years on the 4th made it also...it has not been a good year for them, they lost a son and their jobs...it was good for them to get away for the weekend, they did some hiking and reading on the Porch. Terry loves to sit outside room 4 with his railroad magazines. They are good people !

You can see as we waited for the evening to progress, the sky cleared up a bit and we actually were able to see the fireworks pretty good from the porch.
BUT..we had some excitement. I was not a witness as I was inside eating Pizza, we heard a screech of tires outside, thought Oh No, someone got in an accident...I went outside to investigate and everyone was up and looking around the parking lot and lawn. Apparently a juvenile BEAR had crossed the road from the Muddy Moose Parking log (which was full of course) and crossed to our lot. It almost got hit, some of our guests were witnesses..then it crossed our lawn towards Peggy where she was sitting having a cigarette up on the Owners Quarters porch...we all heard her yeallig "Bear Bear Bear"...and she was wide eyed....I missed it all, but that kept the excitement up for a while !
