August 31st Today was the New Hampshire Circle Day

Left the house around 830-  went on a circle tour of New Hampshire today, 





Here is the tally for the day:

 Mileage  123.3
New markers/memorials  1- Exeter NH- Abraham Lincoln spoke here
Markers visited today  3
Roadside oddities seen  1
New pins 1  Phillips Exeter Academy- Exeter NH

First stop was a revisit to the town of Exeter, NH.  We have stayed in Exeter for a week previously-  stopped in at the Phillips Exeter Academy book store and found a pin.  
Stopped in at the very cool railroad Amtrak station for a drink and rest room stop- 

Then, over to Kingston NH, a wonderful old town, to grab a marker-  Dr. Bartlett was a local famous guy-  



Then, over to Derry NH, to get something I had missed on my other visits, a stop at the Farm of the poet Robert Frost.  Had a personal guided tour- but no pins!




Then, a revisit to the campus of University of New Hampshire in Durham NH.  Got some T's for some former students, and one for me.  



School was "in", so it was pretty crowded.  

Got back to camp by 2-  tomorrow is the first of three days in Boston-  riding the train in, and tomorrow is the JFK library, and some of downtown.  

Talked to Brandon today, looks like he and Cooper might be willing to take the baseball trip next summer!  

I also managed to see a British Columbia Canada plate today!  Also saw a truck from PEI Canada, but didn't properly see the plate, so I didn't count it.
