Always a Surprise
All our reservations for this trip, from the time we left home, through Canada and back to Maine, were made last spring. While it was reassuring to know there would be a place to stay at the end of each day, it was bit of a roulette game regarding space and quality. As we drive…

Prince Edward Welcomes Us
A borrowed view of Canada’s 8-mile long Confederation Bridge presents a much more spectacular view than what we saw on our rainy day crossing. Open year-round, weather permitting, Canada’s longest bridge was a bit of an adventure for us with our trailer in tow. But the payoff of five nights spent on beautiful Prince Edward…

We’re Thrown A Curve Before Big Bend
We had just one day to explore Big Bend National Park. Our original plan of a 2-day stay was foiled by leaking water lines and not one, but two visits from a mobile RV repairman. Them’s the breaks…but we arrived to our rescheduled campsite just outside the park and pulled in between a couple whose…

Civilian Conservation Corps Does It Again – Bastrop State Park
One of the benefits of traveling this time of year has been the ability to reserve and enjoy a variety of state parks in multiple states…without the crowds of high season. We pulled into Bastrop State Park, southeast of Austin, Texas for a three-night stay, and were pleased to see that the forest was making…

Yes, We Were Party Poopers
The Gulf Coast of Florida offered us much more than we expected. Interesting trails, mostly perfect weather and a great beachside seafood restaurant right across the street from our campsite. As the morning rain began, Reg hitched up the trailer while I battened down the inside…it was time to move on. Our reservation at Fountainbleu…

Miles and Miles of Sandy Beach
Not quite barefoot weather, but with the Atlantic Ocean in our backyard, we couldn’t resist beginning our week’s stay at Huntington Beach State Park with a nice long walk. We gawked at all the waterfront “cottages” just out of reach (usually) of the high tide line, although there must have been a recent storm with…

Somewhere in North Carolina
Today we picked up Minnie, our little vacation home on wheels. After 10 days on the road, we are more than happy to to leave hotel life behind. Reg directed the truck toward the blue sky and we were off. It took awhile to clean and organize our space, but we’re already feeling pretty much…

Maine or Bust 2022: Around The Country Roundup
It’s been nearly a week since we arrived home, enough time to feel as though we never left. Funny how that works. Although we’ve made two other trailer trips across the country, this was by far our most ambitious, spreading from as far south as Sedona, Arizona and north into the state of Maine. For…

Maine or Bust 2022: The End or the Beginning?
Tomorrow we pack up our memories and say goodbye to Maine, a state we’ve dreamed of visiting for years. How lucky we were to visit beautiful Acadia National Park before the real crowds of summer arrive. Friends Jeannie and Jeff came up to spend our last day with us at our cozy cabin. After a…
