Meredith Woods Campground

“Full Everything” is my best summary of this campground.  It is modestly priced; we have paid much more for less.  Site #219 may be the only site with a view to the south for Satellite reception.  We love the tree lined campsites, huge rock fire pits, and indoor amenities the campsite has to offer.   We have not used the pool table or the pool or Jacuzzi, maybe we’ll do that tonight.

James called last night to say he would be at camp between 2 and 3 and could look our hot water pressure problem then  He’d call when he was 30 minutes out to give us time to get back to the campsite.   Our plan for this morning was to sleep in, have a slow relaxed breakfast, then decamp and explore Meredith.  We’d be back at the campsite around 1 pm, have lunch, and wait for James.

We’ve explored Meredith, had lunch, James called, and we’re waiting for him to show up.  Meredith felt much more lively than Laconia. It is still a small town that rolls up the sidewalks off-season, but it has a welcoming “at home” vibe.  It was spitting this morning; overcast and threatening to rain.  By the time we reached Meredith the weather was threatening to be sunny while still overcast.

The sun did pop out a few times while we walked the town.  It was tempting to stop in the open restaurants and ask about steamers, but we held off.  We did not have the time to squander, even on steamed clams.  Around 1 pm we headed back to Meredian Woods.

James and Hot Water

Jim stopped by moments ago and checked out our system.  He said that our electronic pressure relief valve AKA crossover valve was malfunctioning.  It has nothing to do with a valve on the water compartment inlet valve!  We’re good in winter conditions.  Jim and I switched water and flow valves to diagnose the problem.  Jim called three outfits to have a pressure relief valve delivered overnight.  Two could have it in weeks, a third is shipping it for overnight delivery.  There’s no guarantee that the part will arrive tomorrow.  If it does come in Jim can make the repair.  If not he said he’d call and just have the part shipped back.  He did not charge us for his time.  He said he was here anyway.  The part is $108.

We are staying a second night here in Meredith New Hampshire.  The campground is beautiful.  we just played a round of 8-ball.  Ellen sunk the 8-ball and won.  We’ll hit the Jacuzzi and pool later this evening after dinner in Meredith.  Steamers anyone?
