We started out this windy day heading to the
Erving State Forest in Erving,
going for a hike using the path highlighted below in pink.
The hike up was a little intense at times,
but the views from the 2 viewpoints were pretty decent.
From here, we headed to the
French King Restaurant and Motel for lunch, a pretty nice and cosy place.
We got the Seafood Chowder,
the Colossal Shrimp Cocktail (5 jumbo shrimp served with hot horseradish infused cocktail sauce)
and the Beef Stroganoff,
which came with a side salad as well.
We also got the Strawberry Shortcake for dessert.
The pasta, soup and dessert were not bad, although the shrimp were just so-so. Overall, nothing special here though.
From here, it was on to the
French King Bridge nearby,
where there were excellent views of the fall foliage and the
Connecticut River below.
We also went to Dorsey Road below the bridge to take pictures of it.
From here, we decided it was time to head back, going for dinner at
Yen Yen, a Chinese restaurant in the town of Gardner.
We got the Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs and Szechuan Style Bean Curd (with Pork).
The bean curd was alright I guess, but the ribs were on the salty side. Not coming back again.
With that, a nice day of foliage peeping in Erving was finally at an end. Back to work tomorrow.
