Dinertoure Week 4: Realitytoure

I'm going to give it to you straight, the diner we're going to this week isn't that "great." It isn't 4 Aces with its lobster eggs benedict, it isn't Lou's with its inflated prices paid by a stream of visiting Dartmouth parents in rental cars. No, this week we're going someplace a little different and a little dark. We're going to Daddypops, and it's the most sad and hopeful place I've ever been.

Daddypops won't impress you. A perfect layer of dirt and grease covers everything. The bathrooms are awkwardly small and you kind of wish the kitchen weren't open. The portions are big and steaming and come on clean, chipped plates which glow white under fluorescent lights. You half expect to look over and see two 40's-era street deceives talking crimes they've solved and crimes they haven't in the next booth. No detectives, just a middle-aged man circling help wanted ads in the paper over a cup of coffee. You look outside, it's raining, 9L's seem immeasurably far away.

I will likely never say this again, but if Daddypops sounds "bad" to you, don't come. Don't come because diners like Daddypops and towns like Claremont, NH only have so much magic left in them. If on the other hand, you find laughter in the honestly imperfect, life in sagging tables which have seen a generation's tears and smiles, and hope in someplace which has nothing but its true self to give, come with us!

SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY / SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

The Prezzie Traverse!

An intense and epic 23 mile traverse that hits the eight 4000+ foot peaks of the Presidential range in the White Mountains!
So awesome that it has its own Wikipedia article!
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Traverse

Good weather is absolutely necessary on a trip of this scale, so we will attempt the hike on whichever day of the weekend has a better forecast. Leaving Friday night to stay at Billings cabin and getting back Saturday night after the hike (or the exact same plan, but starting 24 hours later).

A good level of fitness is mandatory, and some hiking experience is highly recommended. Sense of achievement and complete badassness will be provided on the trip!

The trip will cost $14 for DOC members and $24 for non members.
