Season One Finale

Warning, this is a long post…but it is the last one for several months and covers several days! We had a quiet morning at the campground on Saturday; Connor had a paper to write, so he focused on that for a few hours while we relaxed, took a walk,...

Batteries & Boondocking

Well, we are back on the road, but it wasn’t looking too promising a few days ago. In my last post, RoVer was at the repair shop for some electrical issues after we canceled our Hudson Valley trip. She spent that entire week there, and finally they felt they...

Lions, Tigers, Bears…and a Gecko

(Warning: Long post ahead, covers 3.5 days!) We enjoyed lunch outdoors on Thursday, and then in the afternoon we took advantage of some of the amenities at the campground – played a round of miniature golf (which I won!), and then tried our hands at pickleball. We’ve never played...

Carolina in my Mind

This week marks the start of our longest distance trip thus far…and is also right up there for total number of days. We will stay at a total of seven campgrounds in six states over 14 days! Prepping for this trip was definitely far more involved than our recent...

Stay in your lane!

Turns out you can have ice cream and s’mores in the same day. We successfully accomplished this task on Wednesday! Looks like our campsite neighbor was successful in finally assembling his origami kayak; we saw him walking toward the beach with it at dusk on Wednesday. Hopefully he enjoyed...

Rain, Mosquitoes, and An Abandoned Camp

The rain and thunderstorms continued yesterday afternoon, leaving our campsite pretty wet and muddy. Yuck. Definitely no fun to camp in the rain, and everything just ends up so damp and impossible to dry out! Not to mention all the mud and muck that tracks into the RV. Oh...

On the road again…

We’re back! Mark successfully completed his four weeks of grand jury duty, but I have no idea if it was interesting or not because he’s not allowed to tell us anything about their ‘secret’ proceedings. He was fortunate because he only had to go three days/week; there was another...

Oreos and Pay Phones

We started our day on Friday with another hike, this time around Lily Lake – about 1.5 miles and a little more challenging than Chenango Lake Trail. More inclines and LOTS of stones and tree roots to step around. The lake is, of course, full of water lilies and...

Water Lilies and Carousels

While RoVer was parked in between trips, we had a crazy wind and rainstorm in Rochester, so it was good to see that our vent covers did their job and kept the rain out even though the vents were open! Loading up for these weekly trips has been pretty...
