Sturbridge, Massachusetts Day 3 (GA552)

Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.

I’m currently in my 24th year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The motorhome is parked at Shady Acres RV Park in Yuma, Arizona. I may be here until March 4th.

 

 

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

  In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

This entry was posted July 17, 2013…

 

 

 

 

The motorhome is parked at the Outdoor World Campground in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. I expect to depart here on Sunday.

 

 

Mary is back at  her home in California tending to some personal business. She has a tentative return-to-me-date of July 23rd.

 

 

I’m hiding out in the air-conditioning of the motorhome during a week-long heat wave. For the next four days the temperatures are supposed to be mid-90’s with similar humidity. YUK!!!

The temperature when I arose at 5:00 AM was 72 degrees with 93% humidity. By around 8:00 AM I’ll close the windows and turn on the air-conditioning. Good thing I like to read because that’s what I’ll spend most of my day doing.

 

 

Here are some more campground photos…

 

 

 

 

 

Because of the excessive heat, I talk my daily walk at 5:30 AM. Lots of bugs and mosquitos are out at that time of the day…

Most late afternoons it threatens to rain…but doesn’t…

 

 

 

 

 

You hardly see these anymore…

 

 

I’ll have more of this campground photos as the week progresses.

 

 

Enjoying air-conditioning in my motorhome is another joy of the full-timing lifestyle!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…

On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
