Best Friends and Bears…
Today is our last full day here so we wanted to make the most of it.
After picking up a bolt at the hardware store, we headed back over to Joan’s about 3pm.
Jan and Joan have had a great time recalling stories about each other. Here’s the two trouble makers themselves.
Jan And Joan
Joan had said Charlie, a friend of hers, was coming by to take us on the base at Westover.
Jan had a great time finding her way around the base. Some buildings she remembered were still there, but many had been torned down.
After stopping by Walmart again to pick up my prescription, the four of us drove over to Tavern on the Hill for dinner. This restaurant is built on the peak of Mt. Tom in Easthampton, MA and the view is fantastic.

And so was the food!
After saying our goodbye’s to Joan and Charlie, we headed back home.
On our way I took some pics of the bear mascot statues in Easthampton.
During our travels, we’ve seen pelicans in Seabrook, TX, mermaids in Beaufort, SC, moose in Cour d’Alene, ID, and horses in Kentucky.
Here it’s bears.

And even a Wanted Poster for a bear that’s been ‘Bear-napped”.

We had a great time catching up with Joan and hope to see her again in a month or so when we come back thru here on our way back from Newfoundland.
Tomorrow morning we head east to Boston.
More then…
