Not Very Welcoming Is It?



That's the sign on the front door of the rest area on Route 2 in Shelburne, NH. Apparently winter lasted longer than anyone could have predicted. 



The building appears to be in good repair.  




There are plenty of picnic tables and what look like pits for grilling. 





While I was there, a woman out for a hike came by and asked me what this place was. I explained that it was a rest area. She said, "It's not very welcoming is it?"

Rosalind is visiting from New Zealand, staying at a hostel up the road. A tourist. A delightful tourist. A delightful tourist who would have availed herself of maps, information, and probably the bathroom. Instead, she got this. 

There was a lot of traffic on Rt. 2 today.  Tourism is NH's second largest industry. 




Nothing says Welcome to NH quite like this.
