9:30 am southern NE people meet at the Hooksett, NH rest stop/liquor store off I-93N. It's roughly 1.5 miles after the tollbooth ($1) on your right (see post #46)
11:00 am everyone meet at Castle in the Clouds, 455 Old Mountain Road (NH-171), Moultonborough, NH 03254
Adult Admission is $12 per person.
Drive through the front gates and pay at the booth (and get a map of the property with your admission)
Those meeting directly at CITC, please find a stopping point off the side of the road not far from the ticket booth to wait for us to meet up with you. Pebble area may be ideal stopping point.
There is a 2 mile drive from the gates up to the castle parking lot, and there are sights to see along the way. If you'd rather see these sights on your own and meet us all in the parking lot, feel free.
At the parking lot, there's a shuttle that takes us to the castle.
There is a 10-15 minute orientation session given, and then we are free to roam the castle in a self-guided tour.
The castle has a dining area for lunch.
We should depart CITC between 2-3:00 for the scenic cruise.
Click and Print for Scenic Cruise <-- forget that link. I printed copies for everyone (googlemaps is being stubborn about the route and isn't saving as I originally posted it)
Depart CITC going right onto NH-171 (Mtn Rd)
Merge right with Rt-109/Gov Wentworth Hwy

Hurricane Mtn Rd is a very fun and hilly road, but also can be quite narrow. We encourage people to have fun, but use caution. Speed limit is 20 mph. You won't want to go much faster, you'll see.
Headlight use strongly encouraged.
*For those not willing to do Hurricane Mtn Rd, you can split off the cruise here.

Pm me if you would like to exchange cell phone numbers.
I recommend you bring a light jacket, a camera, 2-way radios if you have them, and small road snack and beverage.
The usual long distance clan is welcome to crash at casa Lafortune Friday night, if desired.
Also, folks are welcome to cruise down to Manchester to hang at our place Saturday night (and stay overnight) to cap off the meet.
