Sturbridge, Massachusetts Day 7 (GA556)

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 21, 2013…

 

 

 

 

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…

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…

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!
