A lot going on: retirement, Gary’s birthday and the start of a two-month trip. We were able to get work completed, pack up for a two-month trip, and leave when we had hoped to… despite a late start to spring in the Northeast, an unexpected furnace problem on the RV, and a re-occurrence of Kya’s …
Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these! We got back from our cross country trip on July 1 and haven’t done much traveling since. One does have to work on occasion. 🙂 We had two additional camping outings this summer. One to Boothbay, Maine for a few days in August and the …
Schodack Island State Park, Albany, NY Thursday, June 29th, we head off in the morning for our next stop. Weather is sunny and cool. We have a nice drive through rural parts of New York state with not a lot of traffic but a fair amount of construction. Although since there is so little traffic, …

Tuesday, June 27th, we headed off in the morning for Lawrenceville, PA. Roads are either getting better or I’m just getting used to these narrow, winding roads and don’t get as freaked out anymore. I think it’s a combination of the two. We see rolling hills, sheep and cattle grazing, and enjoy lovely temps and …
Sunday, June 25th, we head through Kentucky on into West Virginia and just pass into PA. Once again through this part of Kentucky are some beautiful fenced in horse paddocks, gorgeous stately homes, and open flat roads. Once into West Virginia, the terrain looks more like NH with trees on either side of the highway …
Friday, June 23rd, we head East in the morning for our next stop which is a 2 1/2 hour drive over to the Kentucky Horse Park Campground just outside the Lexington area. We were on winding back roads and some highways. Once we got closer to Lexington, the terrain changed to be more open roads, …
Wed., June 21st, we left Babler State Park and headed through St. Louis and over the Mississippi River into Illinois, then Indiana, and then into Kentucky. It was very busy through St. Louis but then quieted down after that. We traveled through more farmland (corn), cattle grazing, and we thought Kentucky was reminiscent of New …
We had another late night or I should say early morning of storms… thunder, lightening, and sheets of rain. We never heard rain like that. It was as if God turned on the faucet and let ‘er rip. Went on and on. It eventually stopped and then started up again a few hours later but …
We left Custer State Park on Wednesday, June 14th, and spent the entire day traversing South Dakota from west to east. A far cry from our New England states where you can go through four states in as many hours. Traffic was non existent with wide open fields of crops and cattle grazing. We saw …
We headed off on Saturday, June 10th, for Custer State Park. Because of the flooding in the Dubois area, we encounter road closures and have to make a detour. Something that would have thrown me prior to our RV training… worrying about the roads we’d land on. Now, I take it in stride… mostly. A …
Thursday, June 8th, we managed to safely get out of our tight site at the West Yellowstone KOA and navigate through their equally tight roads. Gary’s getting expert at getting out of tight campground spaces. We head off for a 225 mile drive to Dubois, WY. We are driving back through parts of Idaho and …
Bruneau Dunes the day after the windstorm (Monday, June 5) was beautiful. To see the dunes in the early morning light was special. If we were staying another day, I would have climbed up in the cool morning before the heat of the day hit. But, alas, we have other places to get to. You …
