New Hampshire sounds like a place I would have enjoyed. Thanks for the great secondhand experience. I took the railroad trip at Pikes Peak and enjoyed it.

Very interesting
At least there is finally an answer to that age old question, where did the Stanley Steamer come from, and, how far east can you get from Cherry Valley? You certainly are have a great time and doing a great job writing about it.

A Moose Interesting Account
I loved the story of the Stanleys and the portrait of a state very much like New Mexico in its rural, poor in money, rich in tradition life.

Don't Fall Off!
This ranks among my favorites of Larry's fine trip reportage. I've never been to Eastport, but I yearn to go, thanks to him. The pictures of the Quoddy Lighthouse are stunning.

Kennebunk
We've a friend of many years who retired to Kennebunk to enjoy the snow and rain. She hasn't been disappointed. The ability to eat fresh lobster some weekends assuages any disappointment as does the time on lonely beaches when grey weather gusts in.

Regarding Kennebunk
Hi Tom, Kennebunk appears a nice blue-collar community, but Kennebunkport seems a little more high brow than my comfort zone. The weather!!!

Trusted Guide
How difficult it is to peel back the overlay of successive generations at a place like Plymouth. Those Pilgrims, who seem so familiar to us, are as foreign as a people living on some Asian isle. You're a trusted guide, Larry.

A trusted guide!
Thanks, Tom. Coming from someone as knowledgeable as you, I consider that a real honor. I trust all is well at WILL and in the greater Silver City metro area. LOL Take care, and thanks for the comments you have taken time to write.

All weeks can't be great
Even the best laid plans of mice and men sometimes fall along the wayside. Keeps life interesting or should I say challenging. Hope things got better. My love and prayers.

Another great tour and history lesson. I too had never given thought to the aftermath of these battles which the townsfolk had to deal with. Thanks for an eye opening account. Made me pause to be thankful for all of those heroes of the past and present who have fought, died and in other ways contributed so much for our country and for each of us who often forget and take our good life for granted. Thanks and happy, safe traveling.

Thanks for the tour
I was thinking about you and your up close view of Discovery as I was watching it on TV. Great that you were able to witness two memorable events in "her" life. I did not get to Mt. Vernon so enjoyed your review and pictures. Thanks for taking time to share your adventures with us. I was in DC in July before 9/11 so the Pentagon memorial and King memorial were also new and interesting to hear about. I'm so glad you are able to enjoy so many things as you travel. Be safe!!! Love you.

Hi Larry, Sounds like you are having a fun and interesting time. I enjoyed the tour and pictures of a place I have never been to and will probably not have the opportunity to see and enjoy in person. Thanks for your time and effort in making your blogs interesting. Love and miss you Helen

I'm a retired firefighter who, after my January 2009 divorce, decided to become a fulltime RVer so I could see the USA. Since the beginning of "The Great Adventure" in March 2010, I have seen most of the attractions on my American bucket list, save attractions isolated in massive urban areas such as New York City or San Francisco where convenient RV parks are virtually non-existent. The last ten years have been phenomenal and have allowed me to spend at least one week in all fifty states, but the time came for Phase 2 of The Great Adventure. My original plan was to head for Europe in March 2... full info
