Ice cream anyone

Yeah, Pirates Cove is OK, just not the same nostalgia as Funspot. Very few places where you can take your kids and do the same thing you did 40 years earlier. Plus it was $5 per player and no crowds.

We were playing once and the eldest owner was sitting nearby on the bench watching over the course. I walked up to him and told him how I used to love playing here as a kid and love bringing my kids. We talked for a while and then we both departed. He caught us on the 18th hole and gave us a bunch of free passes. He didn't have to do that and I was looking for it either. I just wanted him to know how much we all appreciated what he did to keep the course running. Very nice guy to talk to...

I loved the Funspot outdoor mini golf course also. You could learn a lot about NH on each hole.

No crowds because it - well - stunk.

But it was cheap and it brought back memories of when the boomers who will sink the SS system could actually come to the lake and rent a see through the walls camp and enjoy for the price of several joints which they consumed on the porch along with a six of local cheap brew.
Now it is $8 a can tuna, designer beer and "mine is bigger than yours" boats.

The only reason to go to Kellerhaus for ice cream is the toppings. Its certainly not for the ice cream. Only 4 flavors and not any better than what I can buy at the supermarket. Jordans all the way!

Have to agree with Taz...Jordans ice cream is hard to beat and like forum friend Slickcraft, my favorite is their black raspberry!
