I got another very early start (because of a client meeting). Ate breakfast (snacks) in the room and continued teleworking until 0945. I then drove over to Stone Farm Apartments and met with the manager (1000). We toured one of the units and I got packet of information about the complex. As soon as I got back to my car, I had to take some work calls. Fortunately, I was able to drive over to West Lebanon (NH-12A) during this time to pick up lunch at Wendy's (1110). I then went back to my hotel room and teleworked for about an hour (more calls). I had another appointment in the Gile Hill neighborhood in Hanover at 1230, so I headed there next. The condo owners met me on time and we toured the available unit. I learned a lot about life in the area and got a better idea about what utilities cost during the cold winter months. Afterwards, I went back to my hotel room and teleworked for a few more hours. I left the hotel at around 1700 and drove over to visit Prospect Hills again (after the owners had told me more about the location). I backtracked into the old part of Lebanon and looked around near Emerson Place (was not really impressed by the location). At about 1730, I decided to take a walk on the Northern Rail Trail, starting near the Lebanon town square. The weather was perfect for this kind of outing (50s, sunny, light breeze) and I enjoyed the flat, cinder trail surface. There was a lot of evidence of the old railroad tracks, including at the many river crossings (old bridges) and the historical railroad markers. I turned around at the parking area at Riverside Drive. On the way back, I took a detour down the road to look at an old Covered Bridge (it was closed for construction/repair). There were a lot of people outside, including some rowdy kids who swarmed around me as they ran and jumped in the warm sun. I walked just under four miles and felt really great to be outside! Before getting back in my car, I also checked for river access (couldn't find any) and stumbled across a community garden near Emerson Place. Finished my visit to Lebanon at about 1830 and then drove (via US-4 and NH-12A) over towards West Lebanon. All the fast food places had huge drive-through lines, so I stopped to shop at Shaws (grocery store) and found some frozen dinners. I then (1845) headed back to my hotel. Spent some time writing up some notes about my househunting visits (to assist in making a final decision). Ate dinner (frozen meal) in my room and then spent about an hour researching the local area a bit more (transit, dealership, tour/visit scheduling, etc.). Once work was done, I relaxed and watched TV for the rest of the evening. Went to bed at around 2300.
