Bedell Bridge State Historic Site in Haverhill, New Hampshire is a 74 acre park located on the Connecticut River. The covered bridge here was destroyed by a wind storm in 1979 and only the abutments can be seen in the river today. There is a boat launch on site giving access to the river. A pleasant small park suitable for boating, fishing, picnics and calm relaxation. It can be somewhat crowded during peak season with most of the visitors being transient. Moody Bedell was a local businessman who operated a ferry from this location across the river to Bradford, Vermont. The charter for the construction of the bridge was made in 1802 next to Bedell’s ferry site.
Universal Yums for May 2020 is from The Philippines. The only other Asian Yum since we joined the club was from Thailand and that was my lowest score so far. Lets see how this one comes out.
Goldilocks Coffee Crunch Polvoron – coffee shortbread with cashews very strong coffee flavor and odor. You can smell coffee as soon as you open the package, still has the same crumbly dry texture. The flavor was so good I think I could get used to the texture. Alex-6 Joe-9

An interesting box Alex had his second highest score overall and although my score was very close to his I have a half dozen countries rated higher than this box. We both had a mixture of some very high scores but also some low scores that brought the average down.
