Breakfast Club – June 15, 2008

[blalor]

CANCELLED!

The next breakfast club drive will be this coming Sunday, June 15th. We'll meet again at the Pheasant Lane Mall and this time head over to the Peterborough Diner in Peterborough, NH. After we've stuffed ourselves on greasy diner fare, you're welcome to come along for a hike at Miller State Park, weather permitting.

Start: Pheasant Lane Mall parking lot
End: 10 Depot St., Peterborough, NH, and onward to Miller State Park
Departure time: June 15th, 8am. Please note that we'll be LEAVING at 8am, not gathering a few minutes after and then leaving when we've decided nobody else is showing up...

I'm going to attempt to pre-drive the route this week, but it looks like it'll be between 60 and 90 minutes on back roads. Hiking will be immediately afterwards. Miller State Park has several fairly easy trails that lead to the summit, which has a firetower and overlooks with some pretty fantastic views. There's also a road that goes to the top, if hiking's not your thing.

Please post here if you're planning on attending so I can get a rough head-count!

I'm interested but 8am is kind of harsh when i'm an hour and a half away.

[GBMINI]

Ditto on the times ... but at least I've seen the post
ADSS on the Saturday ... maybe I should stay "north" somewhere overnight

[blalor]

I know 8am is kind of early for some folks, but my goal is something fairly low-key that allows folks to get back to their honey-do list as fast as possible.

May still be in the area... so quite possible for some of this!
Particularly the greasy fare at Myborough Diner.

[DanF]

I might go, not sure yet.

[blalor]

I hope you can make it, Peter!

[blalor]

Due to lack of planning, and minor lack of interest (due mostly to a lack of planning...) I'm going to cancel tomorrow's run. I'll definitely do it again when I have a free weekend. Sorry if this catches anyone unaware.

[uptick]

Well, we still swung by a little later in the day, for some greasy lunch instead.

Oh! You may have gone to the wrong diner. . . This is the one you should have gone to:



That said, although featured on Dougie Howser, MD, it did not have cherry pie on the menu at the time.

Two diners with the same name spelled the same way? Weird.

Pete, actually that was the diner we were at. The pic that I took was, I guess, the view less seen, from the rear parking lot facing the back "extension" of the diner. Maybe the cherry pie is seasonal, and we'll have to revisit another time.

[blalor]

Oh, yeah. I can actually see the sign in Peter's photo in the upper right corner of ... uh ... the *other* Peter's photo. Woah, Peter overload.

Just got back from my kind of breakfast. Steak, eggs, home fries, toast and coffee at the Chelsea Royal Diner in West Brattleboro.

None finer. Last time I was there so was former Red Sox pitcher and presidential candidate "Spaceman" - Bill Lee. Wearing his vintage Sox jersey and acting just like one of the locals.
