Rosie, R.I.P.

We lost our best friend and traveling companion on March 8, 2011. We will miss her every day.

Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC

We follow this car into the Biltmore Estate.

Plymouth, MA

Crossing the bridge into Boston, MA.

The first air conditioned building in Plymouth c.1700.

Replica of the Mayflower.

The current updated dinghy dock.

The first dinghy dock in America. "The Plymouth Rock."

When the early settlers rowed their small boats into

shore from the Mayflower they landed on Plymouth Rock.

The rock is half submerged at high tide.

View of Plymouth Harbor from "The Rock."

The oldest house in Plymouth, built in the 1600's.

Running from Earl!

Well, as you can see by our location, (but only if you click on 'Our Location'), we have moved inland to get away from the winds. We never expected to to have to deal with a hurricane this far north. The upside is that the water is freezing here, so by the time it gets here it will be smaller. Meanwhile, we're in a lovely place--- lots and trees, and thoughtfully there is a space for our TV to receive satellite. Can't decide if trees or the stuff people leave around is more dangerous. Oh well---- here we are!

More exploring of Maine.

We are back at Blue Hill Falls.

This time the tide is rising.

This picture was taken during a falling tide.

Notice the rock on the left side .

Two people jumping off The Blue Hulls Falls Bridge

at high tide. The woman is 79 yrs old.

Floating with the tide.

A church along the way.

House in Castine, ME

Exploring the Acadia area of Maine

Sailboat on Blue Hill Bay.

Water entering Blue Hill Bay at Blue Hill Falls. This is an outgoing tide, but isn't at maximum flow. There are standing waves 3 feet high on the maximum ebb. We need to go back when the tide is incoming to see the difference. Looking across at the rocks, you can see from the color how high the tide gets! They say it's at least a 10 foot difference!

The bridge at Blue Hill Falls. The water is

rushing over the falls at low tide.

Northeast Harbor, Maine.

Need a house?

Sunset at Timberland RV Park.

Timberland Acres RV Park

We have decided to stay at this park until the end of August. That way we'll have a "home-base" and we can explore in the car. It appears from the above picture that I like the idea!!
