Friday, May 25 We left the Cleveland KOA on Friday morning but not before a gentleman from CT stopped by to say hi. He and his wife retired in December, sold their home and bought a motor home… having never camped before. People are gutsy! Maybe by selling everything you guarantee you’ll like camping because…

Cleveland OH Tuesday, the 22nd Since we had less than a 2-hour drive to Cleveland, we weren’t in a rush to leave, particularly since check-in at the Streetsboro/Cleveland KOA wasn’t until 2PM. We had a lazy morning then headed off. It was a pretty ride through Amish countryside and Ohio back roads. Then about 2…

Sunday, the 20th We pulled out of the Dayton KOA without incident – going slow is your friend when there are rocks and boulders lining the sides of the road. We had a nice drive and landed in Dundee, OH at the Evergreen Park RV Resort smack dab in the middle of the Amish countryside.…

Wednesday (May 16th) thru Saturday (May 19th) We left Bowling Green and headed north for about 200 miles to Dayton, OH. We are in Dayton to visit the National Air Force Museum, which dear friends Meigs & Paul said you must see. We arrived at the Dayton KOA. It’s a nice KOA but sites are…

Sunday, May 13th We had a short 2-hour drive to Louisville. It is hot! It started getting hot in Nashville then Memphis and has continued with 90+ degree temps. We’re staying at the South Louisville KOA and by golly it has a pool! Praise heaven! We set up and quickly headed to the pool. Only…

Friday, May 11th We said goodbye to the Mississippi River and to Tom Sawyer Campground and the river bugs. The river bugs would buzz around, particularly at dusk and when it was still. Annoying little buggers although not as annoying as black flies. This marks us turning north and east and starting the slow trek…

Friday, May 4th We left Hermitage and headed west through TN and landed in West Memphis, AR, just over the Tennessee border at Tom Sawyer RV Park along the banks of the Mississippi River. Our site is on the water and we have views of all the barge river traffic coming and going. Frequently we’ll…

Friday, April 27th Gary put on his big boy pants and navigated back down the mountain with the switchbacks. Piece of cake and we’d totally stay at Mama Gertie’s again. Just a really cool spot! We had a nice drive heading west on 40 to just east of Nashville at a Corp of Engineer Park…

Sunday, April 22nd Miss Kya got me up early on Sunday morning so I was able to take her for a morning toodle and see sunrise on the beach before we left Cape Hatteras! Excellent! We headed west on Historic Albermarle Highway (64 West). Our stop for Sunday afternoon was Apex, NC, located near the…

Tuesday, April 17th We left Assateague in the morning after seeing three horses steal our neighbors food. They were tenting and the horses can be quite brazen. Luckily everybody saw the humor in the situation! We had a great easy drive down to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. A marvel of technology. It is over…

Saturday, April 14th A beautiful sunny day with temps in the 70s. We left NJ and headed to Maryland. A lovely drive down to the coast mostly off-highway on Route 1 and then 113. We crossed over the Verrazano Bridge (not that Verrazano Bridge), arrived on the island and immediately saw wild horses by the…

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…
