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.

The motorhome is parked  at Outdoor World Campground in Scotrun, Pennsylvania. This campground is part of the Thousand Trails RV Resort system of which we are members, so we got to stay here for free.

 

 

I drove the motorhome 213 miles yesterday, part of which we crawled along on Interstate Highway 80…

We gassed up in eastern Pennsylvania for $3.40.0 credit card price. In Connecticut the credit card price was $4.09.9, a difference of $0,69 per gallon. In Connecticut the 40 gallons we bought would have cost us an additional $28.00 for the same amount of fuel!

 

 

We are in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania which are not very high. Our campground elevation is at about 1,100 feet, 5:30 AM temperature was 67 degrees with 83% humidity and light rain. Heavy rain forecasted for our travels today.

 

 

 

 

 

And in the campground…

 

 

 

 

 

The usual dinette window shot…

 

 

 

 

 

A closer look at the small lake…

 

 

Enjoying a lake view is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer We will continue westward later this morning.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the about 25 miles from East Bridgewater to Rochester, Massachusetts to the Gateway to Cape Cod Campground. This campground is part of the Thousand Trails RV Resort system of which Mary and I are members.

 

 

This location marks the furthest point east the motorhome will travel during my 2011-2013 two-year circumnavigation of the United States. Mary and I thoroughly visited Cape Cod in 2010. I plan to depart here tomorrow.

Mary is back at  her home in California tending to some personal business. She has made her plane reservations and will fly to meet me in Boston, Massachusetts next Tuesday.

 

 

The weather continues lousy in New England. While the high temperatures have dissipated for the moment…the horrible humidity remains. This morning at 5:30 AM it was 90%, It’s raining right now with more on the way/ YUK!

 

 

 

 

 

In the below Google Earth image my location is shown by the yellow dot…

 

 

 

 

 

Regarding yesterday’s Full-Time RVing Seminar… Camping USA told me they have not held a seminar in mid-summer before. Because most folks were out RVing we only had 18 attending…

 

 

 

 

 

My cousin Mike took the above photo with my camera. My cousin Suzie who I have not seen for many years even made it with her husband, Lenny. My camera some how accidentally got in the watercolor mode…sorry about the harsh colors…

 

 

Despite the smaller turnout folks seemed to really enjoy it. I got this nice comment from my cousin Mike…

 

 

Thanks a lot for a very informative seminar. Nice to have an experienced RV’er with your 49 years of RV’ing, including 18 years as a full timer, offering advice. Well Done!! Happy Camping. Response was overwhelming for this seminar.
We will be talking about it for some time. Stay Safe!

 

 

 

 

 

Camping USA did a nice job washing the motorhome in the watercolor mode…

 

 

 

 

 

So, here’s my new camping spot…

 

 

 

 

 

And the usual dinette window photo…

 

 

With the horrible humidity, I had the A/C going immediately upon arrival.

I’ve been hiding out in the air-conditioning of the motorhome during a week-long heat wave which is supposed to end today. The temperature is supposed to be only 84 with humidity dropping down into the 50% range. Still too darn hot and humid for my liking!

 

 

The temperature when I arose at 5:00 AM was 69 degrees with 85% humidity. Here is the forecast for today…

This campground has a nice pond which is very still at 5:30 AM. This Google Earth image shows the pond…

It been so hot and humid I had the air-conditioning running 24 hours a day for the last three days. Good thing I like to read because that’s what I’ll spend most of my day doing!

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…

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…
