We arrived safely in New Orleans after some very bad roads on the way in. I don't think I have ever driven on worse roads anywhere in the world than those in New Orleans. I once thought the roads on I-81 in PA, NY, CT were bad, but nothing had prepared me for the roads here. Thought the RV was going to come apart in the pot holes big enough to swallow my pickup. French Road coming to our RV park, Pontchartrain Landing, was the worst! Iron bar-covered windows/doors and graffiti throughout the surrounding neighborhood was its most noticeable feature. My confidence was a little shaken driving in, but the RV park was OK and seemed safe enough. The park was basically a gravel/dirt parking lot in an industrial area, but was only 15 minutes from ... read more

We arrived in Gaffney SC a couple days early for our 18-19 Jan service at Oasis Freightliner Custom Chassis Service Center. It is critical we get Camp Boss serviced before we embark on our cross continent journey, so we wanted to take no chances of being late. Well it's a good thing we showed up early, because we timed our arrival with an unexpected snow storm. We were going to stay a couple days in the very nice Spartanburg/Gaffney KOA, but nature had its own plans. So we showered and caught up on laundry at the KOA, then got up early on the 17th to move into the Oasis FCC maintenance lot a day early. The maintenance lot is great, it has wireless, a dump station, and 50 amp service and they provide it free to ... read more

This cross country road trip is a 40th Wedding Anniversary celebration, so we would be remiss if we did not return to our honeymoon spot, Charleston SC. In 1978 it was August, so you can imagine the temperature outside, but we were young and high 90s-high humidity was fine. It was a little different on this trip...to say the least. The first couple days we were there the weather was cool, but sunny. Perfect weather for walking around and viewing the battery area historic homes, exactly as we remembered them. What wonderful memories! We had a great time, testing out some wonderful restaurants and seeing the old sites. In 1977, we couldn't afford fine dining (or any dining) that I can remember, I think we packed food in our cooler to eat in the hotel. On ... read more

After we left Maine on 20 Oct, we travelled to our condo in Ohio for a visit with Patrick and Troy and to get celebrate Thanksgiving with the boys. While there we took a brief road trip up to Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Cleveland waterfront. We're happy we went, because too often we never go and see sights nearest to where we live...and it's too beautiful to be missed. Next time we pass through in April we'll visit the AF museum in Dayton and the NFL Hall of Fame, but ran out of time on this visit home. It was a wonderful weather day to visit both the park and the waterfront. We also took a side trip to visit one of the Italian restaurants featured on a food channel show. The show made ... read more

Following a one-night stay in a Wilkes-Barre Walmart parking lot, we arrived in Bedford, Ma for a few days stop on the way to Maine. We love each opportunity we get to visit with Mi Hyon's sister, her husband, and our three lovely nieces. While here we visited the Brimfield Antiques Market, Lexington Common, and Minuteman National Monument. We come to Boston area often, but there is always more to see each time we come to town.... read more
