Camping USA, East Bridgewater, Massachusetts – Day 1

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the about 50 miles from Sudbury to East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. I’m parked at Camping USA which I speak of a little later.

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 on July 30th.

The high temperature yesterday was only 82 degrees in the shade. However, the humidity was still in the mid 70%…another miserable day for me!

Here in New England, once you gate off of the Interstate Highways (which I hate to drive on), the roads get narrow and jammed with traffic which makes for slow going…

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

As I mentioned above, I’m parked at Camping USA…an RV repair facility. I’m plugged into a 30 amp electrical system which allows me to run the air-conditioner which I did from my arrival at 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM…

As usual, here’s the dinette window photo…

So, why am I here? Well, my cousin Mike DiPaola works here and because he knew I was in the area, has invited me to do a seminar about Full-Time RVing which I’ll do this Saturday at 10:00 AM.

In other news…

Finally a break in the hot and humid weather! A forecasted three-day cold front has arrived! At 5:00 AM this morning it was only 65 degrees with 65% humidity. Yes! However on Sunday it appears the weather will go back into the mid to upper 80’s with high humidity once again. YUK AGAIN!

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

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!

Outdoor World Campground, Sturbridge, Massachusetts – Day 7

The motorhome is parked at the Outdoor World Campground in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. I expect to depart here later this morning.

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 on July 30th.

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…

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

It been so hot and humid I had the air-conditioning running 24 hours a day for the last four days. I finally just shut it off.

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

Hare are the last of the pond photos…

Enjoying air-conditioning in my motorhome and pretty ponds are another joy of the full-timing lifestyle!

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

Hare are some more pond photos…
