Settling in and enjoying the warmth Kat was up early to go to the rv dealer to pick up her new rig. I had to run out and snap a picture of her old rig so we can compare the old and new. It was cold out, 44 degrees, so I ran out said good bye and ran back in and back to bed. Kat is supposed to return tomorrow afternoon with her new rv after orientation and driving lessons. After coffee and GMA on the gorgeous new tv Oscar and I went out for a necessary walk. Back inside I had a phone call from Jane, my wonderful friend from home, to hear that it was 2 degrees in the Poconos. I couldn’t wait to brag that it was now almost 70 degrees and very ... read more

Enjoying sunny Florida The sun was brilliant this morning. I went outside and didn’t need a coat at 8:30 am. Oscar wanted to go out too so we sat outside for a short time even BEFORE coffee. I had a plan for the day but it was evolving slowly, no more rushing. After coffee and a wonderful shower I just couldn’t leave the camper in the mess it was in. I washed the dishes, wiped down the cabinets, made the bed and swept the floor. Boy, that made me feel good. Now I was free to get ready for the day’s adventure. Bottle of water, bisquits and dog food, dog dish, camera and telephoto, and maps. We were heading out to Big Shoals State Park not too far down the road. I unhooked the car in ... read more

Got up about 7:30 had coffee, walked Oscar and called the rv place to see if they could install a new tv. They could get er done sometime today. I talked to my neighbor at the rv park and he said he would put it in for me tonight. Great, so off I went to Wally World again, bought a flat screen and a wall bracket and was back in a flash since I had the car and didn’t have to unhook everything and secure the interior. Terrific to have a car! Since I had the whole day and it was BEAUTIFUL out I decided to see Lookout Mt. We arrived about 11:30, bought a 3 attraction pass and headed for the Enchanted Gardens, which is part of Rock City. Oscar was welcome so we headed ... read more

Salisbury, MA was a zoo. I had envisioned a peaceful night at the beach, early autumn with cool nights and still warm days. Well half the east coast had the same idea. The campground was packed, I was lucky to get a spot for 1 night. It was a state park and campers were packed together like sardenes. We walked around til we found a trail leading to the river, really part of the ocean it was so big. Dogs were not allowed on the beach so we had to find somewhere that had great smells for Oscar and views for me. We settled in for the night after figureing out I didn't have the electric turned on at the hookup box. After dinner I realized how tired I was so hit the sack early. Sat ... read more

Our night at Elm River Camp Ground was exceptional. I drove on the grass and Pennelope was immediately level. The restrooms were right behind me and the internet was fast and my computer accessed it with no problem. The restrooms proved to be exceptional, which is VERY rare. I had coffee and a shower then took Oscar for his walk. Pictures . We walked along the river and enjoyed the autumn colors and that distinct smell. We walked the “extra mile”, it was just so nice out, the sun was shinning again! I had sausage, oatmeal walnut pancakes and coffee for breakfast, wow am I stuffed. The last blog got published and I sent a few e mails then it was time to leave. I decided to make the 16 hr trip in 3 days and ... read more
