Crotched Mountain New Hampshire Nov 9th to 11th 2008
This trip was planned about 2 months ago by my wife Yeu-Tin. The resort was one of the latest expansions by Shell Vacation, and we wanted to check it out before planning our next shopping trip to New Hampshire. Traditionally we go to New Hampshire at least once a year for our annual shopping pilgrimage. Normally we would go to Attitash Mountain Village Resort (part of our Taranova time share) for a week usually with the Morrison. However, on this trip we have our close family friend and consider a relative, Gladys Tay with us.
We started our trip from Mississauga on Saturday and after picking up Gladys at her resident we went straight to Ottawa where Louie (Gladys’s son) lived. We stayed at Louie for a night before going to Montreal to visit Carol Morission at the Lakeshore General Hospital. After the hospital visit we went straight to Crotched Mountain, New Hampshire.
The trip should take 5 hours but I made a critical error with the GPS. Instead of going to 740, 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike North, I selected 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike South. To our horror it was a resisdential area and near a school. Some how while trying to look for the resort I must have driven at 40 mph in the school zone without knowing in the dark. As I turn into a office like building only did I realize it was a school. By than I saw a flashing light of a police car in front of my park car. I walk over to the police not knowing he has caught me speeding but more concerning with my lost in the dark.
As the officer approach me, I ask him if he could help me find the resort, to which he say he will but not until I show him my driven license and vehicle license. Only than, he informed me that I was over speeding in the school zone. Because of the situation he gave me a written warning. He than ask me to follow him in him cruiser to the resort. We reach the resort slightly after 6.00 pm in the dark. After thanking the officer who was amuse by my lost we went to the resort office which at was close after 6:00 pm. However, the management has posted a welcome letter on the office door with instruction where our unit and key are placed.
Without any further difficulty we were happily settle in our units.
