July 10/11 2013. Not much to report we are in driving mode,
covering about 500 miles in the last two days. Our first day we traveled 200+/-
miles from Bar Harbor Maine west to Lancaster New
Hampshire.
We stayed in a large almost empty campground, the campground
roads were paved but the ground was very saturated. The owner directed us to a
site that was fairly solid ground. It rained all night and I was concerned
about leaving in the morning but we didn’t have any trouble.
Day two we drove the rest of the way west across New Hampshire and then turned south on I-91 in Vermont. The interstate
meanders thru mountains and valleys as it follows the Connecticut
River. It is one of the most scenic turnpikes we’ve seen. At the
bottom of Vermont we turned west again drove
the width of Vermont and entered New York State.
After a 300+/- mile run today we are overnighting in a small
campground that boarders the Susquehanna River.
It is the head waters of the same Susquehanna that flows thru Pennsylvania
and Maryland before emptying in the Chesapeake Bay. Now that I think about it we were at the Chesapeake Bay terminus of this river earlier in this
trip. It was in the June 11 blog posting, we walked out to the Turkey Point
lighthouse where five rivers converge to form the head of the bay. The
Susquehanna is one of those five; the other four rivers are The Elk, The
Bohemia, The Sassafras, and The Northeast.

The travel plan for the next few days is Pennsylvania
tomorrow, stopping at the Hershey Thousand Trails Campground, Virginia the next
day, overnighting near Staunton around the beginning of Skyline Drive and then
Grindstone Campground in the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area down in the
Southwestern corner of Virginia.

I have been reading all the blogs, have not posted until now. I wish we could do that kind of RVing but we do not have that kind of money. So were here at Gulf Shores AL and working for our keep. Plan to stay here until they run us off. Keep up the travels I live thru you guy's.
Love Dianne & Bill Frazier
