October 11 – 14, 2019 We encountered some traffic on the way to Lakeville Self storage so the 2 hr 15 minute drive took longer than expected. Luckily the weather had cleared up a bit by the time we got there. A sprinkle instead of a Dunkin Donuts downpour. Still windy though. First time parking…
October 10 – 11, 2019 Our original plan was to camp near our van storage place at Lakeville Self Storage. Rick had been watching the weather and it was calling for extreme wind and rain in the Lakeville area – so we ended up staying north to work on our end of the trip van…
October 9 – 10, 2019 Yes, there was room for us in the park. A nice park with big pine trees, and some oaks = more falling acorns. The CG is giant and with only us and a couple other campers we had plenty of elbow room. The benefits of off season traveling – assuming…
October 8 – 9, 2019 Sun in the forecast and we position ourselves to ride the Green Woodlands Mountain Bike trails Emily told us about. No camping at the trails so we spend the night at Pastures CG. Déjà vu – turns out we stayed there in 2011 when we did our White Mountains bike…
October 7, 2019 We visited Dwight and Lauren Bradley in their beautiful old farm at the base of Mt Adams. Lunch is ratatouille made with fresh garden produce. After dinner we get a tour of the refurbished barn (it’s huge), the new hoop house, orchard, berry patch, etc. A lot of work has been happening…
October 4 – 7, 2019 Apple crisp for breakfast with Tom’s apples. Not bad considering it was baked on the BBQ. We move on to New Hampshire stopping for groceries, beer, wine, fuel, wi-fi and some solar charging before pulling into Sugar Loaf 2 CG in the White Mountains National Forest. I save $20 with…
October 3, 2019 With clean laundry we make a short move to Ricker Lake CG. Voted the best Vermont state campground in 2018. The reason is clear – beautiful like most but extra great service. Tom picks us apples and brings firewood for the “inconvenience” of having to first wait on a couple from McCall…
October 2, 2019 Solar panels work great – but they do need sun. We set off with batteries at 50%, down 208 amps. Plan is to get a second breakfast at Rochester – but the café was closed on Wednesdays. Darn. We get sandwiches at the bookstore/bakery then head NE thru the pleasant capital city…
September 30 – October 2, 2019 Trail forks shows MTB trails around Lake Dunmore so we head for Branbury State Park. Plenty of room in the CG. We pick a spot with potential for sun since these cloudy days are limiting our solar gain and our batteries are getting low. If we didn’t curse generators…
