Monday, September 9, 2019 What an adventure! Our dream RV trip has come to an end after 8,847 miles of travel and 231 hours of engine time. Along the way we’ve seen so many beautiful sites, met such wonderful people, listened to great music and eaten delicious food, all while […]
Sunday, September 8, 2019 Today we got up early and departed the campground a little after seven. Although I had dreaded driving around Baltimore and Washington in an RV, it was actually relatively stress-free because early on a Sunday morning the traffic was relatively light. We stopped for diesel outside
Saturday, September 7, 2019 Jane & I always enjoy visiting Nancy and John. Today, they toured us around sites in beautiful Lancaster County including brief ventures into the neighboring counties of Lebanon and York. Our first stop of the day was the Cornwall Iron Furnace. The furnace operated from 1742-1883
Friday, September 6, 2019 Honoring of the Tioga County CCC Workers Before checking out today, we hopped into the toad and drove to Leonard Harrison State Park so Jane could visit the lookouts that see had missed on her hike yesterday. The views were nicer this morning with the sun
September 5, 2019 This morning, we very carefully hitched up the toad to the RV and with trepidation, set out towing again. Fortunately, all went well. We stopped for lunch at a rest area and ate in the RV among the truckers. Around mid-afternoon, we pulled into the Canyon Country
Wednesday, August 4, 2019 Today we drove the toad into the Buffalo suburb of Kenmore to attend memorial services for Jane’s cousin, James Brian Tuhovak who passed away last week at the age of 55. It was a sad time for the family, especially for Jane’s Aunt Phylis, who has
Tuesday, September 3, 2019 We returned to Marcotte Ford in Holyoke, MA, a little before noon today and about six weeks after our first previous ill-fated visit. We eyed Jane’s Ford Focus in the back of the parking lot when we parked the RV. As we entered the all too
Monday, September 2, 2019 As we departed the Naples KOA, Jane went into the campground office to return the cable box and thank Con for his help and the lovely stay we had had there. Our plan was to identify and spend the night at a campground near Holyoke, MA,
Sunday, September 1, 2019 Late morning, we hopped on our bikes and pedaled about two miles to the Roosevelt Trail Causeway that separates Long Lake from Chute River. This is a hopping tourist area with lots of boat docks, restaurants, and shoppes. We boarded the Songo River Queen II for
Saturday, August 31, 2019 We slept late today and after breakfast decided to walk around the campground, always an engaging activity for us. I suspect that most non-RVers are unaware of the interesting slice of life that exists in RV parks. Jane & I are basically nomads, traveling most days
Friday, August 30, 2019 Shopping in the Umbrella FactorySupermarket Today we departed the Pumpkin Patch for a 2.5-hour drive southwest to our campground near Naples, ME. T.D. Erin had exited and we had beautiful blue skies and temperatures in the seventies. Because we were back in the U.S., we started
Thursday, August 29, 2019 Mr. & Mrs. Blueberry Greeted Us on our Return Visit to McKay’s Well, Tropical Depression Erin arrived just as we started breaking camp mid-morning today and dogged us with clouds and rain most of our trip. We quickly passed out of Nova Scotia and into New
Wednesday, August 28, 2019 On the Move This morning the skies had cleared and the temperatures warmed. We headed out to travel across Nova Scotia to a campground in Amherst near its western border with New Brunswick (about 270 miles). On the way out of Cape Breton Island, we skirted
Tuesday, August 27, 2019 We had a Rainy Entrance intothe Fortress of Louisbourg Well, stormy weather with rain and high winds moved in last night as predicted. Our RV bed rocked like a cradle all night. In the morning we drove about an hour to Louisbourg, at times buffeted by
Monday, August 26,2019 Waiting for the Ferry (and Breakfast #2) Today we got up early, broke camp, and drove about 45 minutes to the Port aux Basques ferry. After checking in, an inspector entered our RV and checked out our refrigerator – no potatoes or plants with soil allowed. They
