As much as we could have easily settled in for a few more day at Lums Pond, we woke up on our departure day full of excitement. Today was the day. The day we would rendezvous with dear friends at an exciting location! When we last parted ways with Nina & Paul of Wheeling It in […]

Our First Boat Shopping Stop – Elk Neck State Park (MD) and Lums Pond State Park (DE)
We were sprung free from our round of bus maintenance in Vineland,NJ at US Coach later in the afternoon than we were expecting. We had reservations waiting for us in Maryland for the weekend, and an appointment in the morning to meet our boat broker for our first boat shopping stop (super excited!!). We hit […]
RVing in the Northeast – Lessons Learned & Summer Recap
Back in March, we starting making our plans to spend the summer RVing around the Northeast. An area of the country we had neglected in our prior years of RVing. In our post announcing these plans, we made these statements: We know RVing up that way is much more expensive than we’re used to, more […]
Exiting the Northeast Just Like We Entered – More Bus Maintenance
We officially entered the Northeast (depending on how you define what states are included in the ‘Northeast’) back in mid-June. Our first stop then was US Coach in Vineland, New Jersey for preventative bus maintenance. We liked the shop so much, we wanted to return and get ahead on a few other issues. But first, […]
There’s Nothing Rotten About Groton
First.. thank you. Your outpouring of support for our upcoming new adventure totally blew us away. It’s always a touch scary approaching a new chapter, and announcing it is a big step. In the past, we’ve gotten mixed reactions to what seemed like departures from our course. Perhaps this led to over-explaining our decision which helped pre-empt […]
Catching Up at Horseneck Beach State Reserve, Massachusetts
After reaching our 50th state of Rhode Island, we wanted to retreat somewhere we could get some work done, and have access to the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. We had a blog reader we really wanted to meet up with, and Chris’ cousin spends his summers on Martha’s Vineyard. So we back tracked a […]
Does Visiting All 50 States Mean You’ve Seen the Country?
Some travelers keep a bucket list of items to check off – such as visiting all the national parks, visiting every state or seeing every ball of twine. We really never had a list when we set off full timing. But we did have the ambitious intentions to ‘visit most of the lower 48, Alaska and […]
Beach Life in Eastern Massachusetts – Salisbury Beach State Reserve
A few miles driven south, and then we were out of Maine – ending our way too quick visit of just over two weeks in the state. We had a few nights to play with before our next reservation down in Rhode Island – and both craving being somewhere pretty and with a minimal of […]
Two Finals Ports in Maine: Driveway Surf in Searsport & L.L Bean Overnight in Freeport
When we envisioned our summer in the northeast, we had lofty goals of spending ample time in all of the key areas and perhaps even ducking up into Canada for a few weeks. In particular, we thought we’d have plenty of time to spend a month or more in Maine. Alas, a nomad’s eyes are usually bigger […]
Amazing Acadia National Park – Schoodic Woods Campground
Last May you may recall that we took a New England & Canadian cruise, and one of the first stops was Bar Harbor. We opted at the time to not try to rush our short cruise port stop by touring Acadia National Park, as we knew we’d be up this way this summer with much […]
