Welcome to Kansas

Currently in Chapman, Kansas, last night we thought that we were going to meet Dorothy and Toto. Around 2 am the wind started blowing like.....and 20 minutes later it started raining, thunder and lightning. By morning we were happy to find out that we had only lost our doormat and had a couple blown out seams on one awning. From now on all awnings come in at night.

East Lyme, CT

We are now at "Aces High CG" in East Lyme, CT. http://aceshighrvpark.com/




This is a 5th wheel RV with a balcony and a rear door that turns into another balcony with railing, illuminated with fluorescent lighting. It's really becoming hard to keep up with latest trends.

We stayed at Narrows Too RV Resort near Bar Harbor, Maine for three months. Lilly and Hamish played for a half hour every afternoon for the last two months. They will surely miss each other now, but will remember each other if we return next year. Here is their link:http://www.barharborcampingresorts.com/content/4004/NARROWS_TOO

Lilly keeps asking us at 2:30 in the afternoon, "where is Hamish?" She really misses her pal from Maine.

While at Narrows Too we took advantage of the lobsters and clams from Lunt's lobster pound: http://www.luntsgatewaylobster.com/

We enjoyed our time in Maine, got plenty of rest and got spoiled by the weather.

First trip of 2014

Our first trip of 2014 was to A & S Truck Refinishing in Fort Lauderdale to repair the compartment doors that were damaged during a rock stop. That was one big rock that we confronted at Boston Minuteman Campground.


The above picture is after hitting the rock and before going to the body shop.

Home at TY Park

From Mystic, CT we went to Clarksboro, NJ near Philadelphia, PA. However, the Obstructionists had the government closed and we did not get to see any historical sites. Our next stop was Washington D C, and a closed government. Then Roanoke Rapids, VA, Florence, SC, Savannah, GA, St Augustine, Malabar, FL and now we are at TY Park in Hollywood, FL. 2013 travels completed.

Mystic, Connecticut

Drove by Mystic Pizza today, to check where this coming-of-age movie was shot. Turns out that only exteriors were shot there.... it's in the middle of town, and it was too crowded, so they did the interiors in a place in Stonington. Town of Mystic is absolutely beautiful, and even more so with the fall colors!

Boothbay, Maine

Here we are in Boothbay, Maine. Pulled into our campsite 9/12 and attended the Foretravel Motorcade Club Fall Rally. There were 20+ Foretravel Motorhomes here. Saturday night dinner included two lobsters, corn and all the clams you could eat, plus dessert and ice cream. Had a great time and met some nice fellow travelers. We've decided to stay here for another week, get our mail and have a few parts for the RV delivered.

Guess we could say that we are on our shake down cruise. Also, a brush up on driving skills cruise. While leaving the last campground which was very hilly and loaded with trees, and rocks, etc. Our driver (Bob) managed not to hit any trees, but did clobber the passenger side on a  5' diameter rock. We'll need a body shop when we get home. I (Bob) also, did not get the dip stick into the locked in position one day and blew a gallon of oil out on to the back of the RV, our car, and Interstate 90 through New York. Are we having fun yet???

We are now in Muskegon, MI enjoying the 70 and  80 degree weather. Headed for Sault Sainte Marie, Canada.

Hope to post more pictures soon,
