Looking forward to eating Maine "lobsta" rolls.

[Rosy]

HA, Janice says, BAH on Maine, go to Tuckaway Tavern for their 2 for 2 on Mondays and Tuesday. You get two lobster rolls that are so big, you bring one home. Well, she did, but you Leo, it would be a snack for you. LOL
I would love to take our group there, but most of the time it is an hour+ wait for a party of four! & good luck on parking, that can be a hassle, but I have seen trikes there in the past, so word has gotten out! LOL
But, if anybody wants, I can give them directions on how to get there.
They also have a butcher shop that have great cuts of meat, and their steak tips are fabulous, along with their mac&cheese!
Just a note, please register on the NEGathering so we may get a better count on who is going to be at the Gathering, to advise the Restaurants of the number of possible dinner guest, so they can add extra staff.
Thank you.

Rosy, the 2 for 1 lobster rolls use to be 2 for $19.50. Last year they increased the price to $24 and now they are $30 due to the price of lobsters.

Still not a bad deal when you consider they put a whole lobster on each roll.

Need to speak to the Mayor of Dover to see if we can store trailers and trucks in her parking lot next to the motel. So, who is bringing a trailer:
Tom
Phil
Bruce
Dennis
If you are not on the list, please let me know so I know how many spaces to ask for.
Thank you.
Rosy

 

[DblTrbl]

if the Dennis you listed is me, I don't have a trailer. I will be working nights the entire week so will only meet early morning. I may go on a ride or two but may need to cut off and head home so I can get some sleep before work.

 

[Rosy]

Nope, I knew you didn't have a trailer, and why would you need a trailer from Rochester! LOL Pete will like this, I am sure he won't have one from Farmington either! LOL
No, Dennis is from MS, a good ole country gentleman! Well, he lives there now, but not really from MS! LOL
Have a great day, and don't work too hard, yeah, like this is going to stop you working 12s!
Rosy

 

[leo3wheel]

Rosy, Jeannette is weakening. Hope to bring her along. Will be a great time! Leo

 

[Rosy]

Need to iron out a couple of things, and I should be ready.
One is back roads for one of the rides, trying to stay away from highways, but some times it must be done.
I also need for everybody to register to get a good count.
Need to go to the places we are going to eat at and give them dates and times so they can staff or get our own function room.
See you soon!
Rosy

Rosy, The motel told me that they are blocking off 10 spots for us to park our vehicles so just how much more do you think that they will need?
Tomg

 

[Rosy]

OK, do the math, trike, truck, trailer..that's 3 per person..Yes, not everybody will have 3, but I am not taking any chances with parking..If there is enough parking at the motel, great, if not, then there will be parking.
Dont worry Tom, I already have a buyer for your trailer mag wheels! LOL

RIDE the trike and you won't need trailer spaces!! Just saying..........

I might be able to let some folks keep their bike trailers at my house if that will help. It would be park at your own risk. I have never had an issue at my place but you never know. Depending on the size of the trailer, we might be able to park out of sight from folks passing by. Also my neighbors keep a good eye on things.

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

 

[Rosy]

If the mayor says OK, they would be in plain sight of people going by and the police.
The parking lot is next to Chapel Street at the Janetos parking lot. I would advise to bring a hitch lock for your trailer, even if you park it at the motel. I use one, even at my house. They are cheap and will deter a common thief, but not a professional one, as they can get into anything.
Rosy

 

[Rosy]

We Do Not have any of these in NH, but we do have lobsters and crab legs, which are very good!
Ask Janice and Leo, they should know! LOL
Rosy

 

[leo3wheel]

Yum, that fella looks tasty!

Depending on the weather forecast I will ride the trike (1500miles each way ) but if the weather is iffy, I'll trailer up and it will be the first time in 61k miles.

[Rosy]

Tom, who else is coming up with you? Is Red going to be able to make, or is he still under the weather?
I don't know when Phil is leaving, do you?
Ultrafred should be here by then, I believe.

No Red this trip as he wants to go to Maggie Valley with me and then to Va for a Sea Bee get together a week later. If all goes as planned, Jerry and I will ride the Blue Ridge with Red after Maggie Valley but not his Sea Bee meeting. Phil should be there the time I get there. Haven't heard of anyone else yet.

[Rosy]

Here is a great thing to do on your FREE DAY, take the
Downeaster to either Boston or LL Bean, in Maine.
It is a great ride, we have done it before to Boston to see all the sights, and you don't have to worry about driving.
LL Bean in Freeport, Maine is a great shopping day, all the name brands are up there in this quaint small town.
Make plans, and see things you may not be able to see, while you are here.
You don't even have to ride your trike to catch the train, it is a very short walking distance to the station as you can see on the Dover map.
WOW, as I think, of the fun things we have done, I will you let know, so you can make plans, while you are here for the North East Gathering.

[Bikerbozo]

Rosy, looking at map, it occurs to me that Dover looks like a good kayaking place. Any rental places around there?

 

[Rosy]

It is great to kayak from Dover, on the Cochecco River, to the junction of the three major rivers.
BUT, there are no rentals in Dover that I know of. Rentals are in Portsmouth and other costal towns.
There is a launch in downtown Dover, at the Henry Law Park, if you have your own canoe or kayak.

Rosy

Is it slow flow so I can paddle in both directions or a one way trip?

 

[Rosy]

Friends of mine who are kayakers said the Cohecco River, lower rivers, and coast line are subject to tides, so you have to plan you trip when tides are high. You really don't want to get caught at low tide because lots of places are just mud flats.
Another point he made as in this area when tides are rushing out in lots of places, your paddling is very difficult. At one time, don't know if it is now, but we had the 7th highest volume of water rushing out of the Portsmouth narrows where many rivers and Great Bay starts to dump into the ocean in the world, that's a lot of water rushing out.
Many times when we are in Portsmouth looking out over the river traffic you see small boats just inching up the river because the current is so strong! They look like they are standing still.
But, I am sure if you contact the rental places in Portsmouth, they will advise you as to where, what time, and how long you should kayak the area.
Rosy

 

[leo3wheel]

Sounds scary to me!!

 

[Rosy]

Leo, it can be if you are not aware of the tides. The channel coming into Portsmouth harbor is a zig-zag affair and tugs are needed to get the huge ships up to the port. Even when they bring in the nuclear subs, they are guided by tugs.
It really is something to see an ocean type ship come into port and cross the Memorial bridge with its span up and the ship is higher than the road, Whoa!
You look across the river and see the Coast Guard ships, and the subs they are working on at the Navy Yard. That's why we are spending a few hours in Portsmouth for lunch, so Y'all can see the ships, river, old houses, and the flower gardens, and maybe a tall ship will be in for tours.

Rosy, I was told by someone at work that the flow of water in/out of Great bay was the fastest/strongest flow in the USA. Not sure where he got this info but it is the fastest exchange of water I have ever witnessed in a daily basis.

 

[Rosy]

Flow is at 4 knots, and if don't have a good motor, well the bridge pilons are waiting for you.
We even had an ocean type ship break moorin and hit a bridge pilon. The crew of the ship was at fault because they did not secure the ship properly against the current.
Ask the yachts men going up river, they will tell you, they have a very strong anchor waiting in case their motor fails!
It is a beautiful river to look at, but will take your breath away, sailing it!
Thet have boat cruises which give tours of the river so you can see both Maine and NH as you sail the river.
