It has been my dream to travel cross country in an RV with my laptop to interview people I meet along the way. Now that dream is being fulfilled - I have decided to retire and go on the road with someone who shares the wanderlust spirit, Rich Colomb. He has been RVing his whole adult life and has managed camp grounds so he knows his way around. I hope that you will enjoy our journey vicariously through this blog.

Raymond, Maine
October 14 - 19, 2020
Time to close the camp and the weather was iffy. Wednesday was seasonably warm so we did outside jobs - hammocks, outdoor bathroom, clothes line, hose, etc. Thankfully, Randy and crew put the heavy benches and boats away when they were up last.
Rainy Thursday afternoon and Friday for indoor tasks, eating, visiting, and drinking cocktails with Cindy and Jimmy.
Jumbo lobsters weren't easy to get into so we had to bring out the hammer! Delicious and worth the effort.
Sunday's ride home was sunny and mild so we drove down the coast through Saco (Ken's Place), Kennebunkport and Wells. A lot of people milling about with masks on. Nice weekend! Couldn't capture the gorgeous reds, oranges, and yellows of the foliage!

Interlake RV Park, Rhinebeck, NY
October 8 to 12, 2020
All set up, dinner devoured, relaxing with a hot fire and cold cocktail.
Our fellow campers really know how to party! This being one of the last weekends to camp, the ghouls are out in full force and the early Halloween treats abound. The campground was set up with a Pumpkin Patch scavenger hunt, trick or treat parade, a hayride, and all of the decorations.
A short walk reveals a stone stairway to a fountain embedded in the side of a hill. It is a true work of art! The fishing pond is lovely - catch and release.
Cinnamon French toast and thick sliced bacon swimming in a pool of Maple syrup is the wake up call today. NOT Keto friendly, but soooooo delicious.
PS - The Doberts came on Saturday to join us again. They are progressing nicely with their new travel trailer. Their son, Doug, came as well. We shared travel stories, campfire cocktails and appetizers in our brief time together. Should have taken a picture! Next time...

Dorsett, VT
September 17 to 20, 2020
Community Saturday night bonfire!
Judy and Gary Dobert, friends of Rich's sister, took their maiden voyage with us. They just got a travel trailer and were looking for Rich's guidance their first time out. It was a great time with good food and conversation. We took a ride to see Manchester and check out another campground - Camp on the Battenkill River in Arlington.
Cape Ann, Gloucester, MA
September 11 to 13, 2020
The beach was nice to walk with occasional stops on the rocks to sit and bask in the sun! The seagulls were feasting on someone's unattended lunch.
Trying to stay true to Keto as much as possible. The new Coleman stove was put to good use.
Berkshire Bike And Board (son-in-law, Dave) loaned us these eBikes so we could get around easier! They sure came in handy to go to the Wingaersheek Beach a few miles down the road. We were set up on a fairly steep hill, but it was easy peasy climbing with the pedal assist!
Shanties, shops, and galleries abound in Rockport
Lobster rolls were savored on a deck looking out over rocks that were in full view with the tide out.
This fish house caught our eye and Rich did a pen and ink drawing of it. So did many others - it was represented in all of the art galleries.
Couldn't resist our first ice cream treat! We also stopped in at a candy store and bought various flavors of Salt Water Taffy for the grandkids. They really didn't end up with much - too tempting.
