9-11 July 2026 Sand Beach Sage and I got an early start to avoid the crowds and our first stop on the park loop road was Sand Beach. I was disappointed that dogs aren't allowed on the beach during peak summer season so we stopped on the stairs to take pictures. Sage contemplating life We stopped further up the road and walked out on the rocks to soak in the beauty This girl will not look at the camera! I love this rugged coastline. It's just quintessential Maine. Rocky shore

6-8 Jul 2026 Jordan Pond, Acadia National Park Buckle up because you're about to visit one of the most beautiful places in the USA! I have waited years to visit Acadia and I was not disappointed. I'm breaking my visit up into two segments because although I only had five days there, there's so much to show you and I barely scratched the surface of this wonderland. Acadia is in the northern part of the state they call Downeast Maine. Why? I wondered the same thing. It comes fr

28 Jun - 6 Jul 2026 After nearly two months of travel, I finally made it to Maine! Alaska and Maine have been at the top of my bucket list since I started RVing back in 2021 and I'm so excited to explore this gorgeous state. Great Moose Lake Sage is happy to be back with her bestie, Bailey The first week here, we stayed at Christies Campground in Newport. My "road sister", Kate, is from Maine and just bought property here that she's going to put 2 RV pads on and eventually a

23-28 June 2026 View from the summit of Mt Washington I had originally made reservations for Sugarloaf II campground in the White Mountain National Forest near Twin Mountain, New Hampshire, but there were no hookups and the weather was going to be too warm to leave Sage in the camper without a/c. The only (inexpensive) campground in the area with electric was Dolly Copp in Gorham. It's another national forest campground but the only sites available were first come, first ser

19-23 June 2026 We left upstate New York behind and headed to Vermont. I didn't realize my GPS was leading me to a ferry crossing until I got there. That's Lake Champlain I needed to cross. It was my first ferry crossing with the RV and man was I nervous. I'm kind of glad I didn't know ahead of time or I would've been stressing the entire day. Incoming ferry Whew! Made it on without hitting anything. As you can see there wasn't much wiggle room. I even had to bring my mirrors

11-15 June 2026 Upper and Middle Falls Letchworth State Park is not only known for its natural beauty but also for its rich history. The land was originally inhabited by the Seneca Nation, and remnants of their culture can still be found throughout the park. In the 19th century, Irises at the Glen Iris Inn the park became a popular site for wealthy industrialists, and many historic buildings were constructed, including the famous Glen Iris Inn, which still operates today. Nam

9-11 Jun 2026 American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls From one of the worst to wonderful! This campsite was one of the best I've ever had. I stayed at Four Mile Creek State Park, about 25 minutes from Niagara Falls. The campground was quiet, well kept and right on Lake Ontario. There was a big field right behind the camper where I could throw the ball to Sage. She was a happy girl. If there's water she will get in it. We both dipped our feet in Lake Ontario. It wasn't nearly as

7-9 Jun 2026 Watkins Glen Gorge For years I had read about how fabulous Watkins Glen in the finger lakes region of New York was and the pictures looked amazing. For that reason, it has been on my bucket list for years so I was so excited to finally get here! We stayed at the Watkins Glen State Park campground which is beautiful. As I've found with most state parks in the northeast they have water fill stations throughout the park with only electric at the campsites. I have to

3-7 Jun 2026 I spent a few days near Newport PA at Little Buffalo State Park. The area is known for the many covered bridges. This is a short entry as I was only there three days and one of those was raining like crazy. Shoaff's Grist Mill Had a great campsite at Little Buffalo State Park There were honeysuckle vines along the edge of my campsite that smelled so good. Yes, I did pick a few and sucked the nectar out. I remember doing that as a child and it brought back some go

30 May - 3 Jun 2026 Today we arrived in a historic and unique place - Harpers Ferry WV. Harpers Ferry sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers near the borders of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. We actually stayed at Brunswick Family Campground in Brunswick MD. It was kind of cool driving through all three states to get from the campground to Harpers Ferry. Because of this unique location, it made Harpers Ferry a vital transportation and industrial h

23-30 May 2026 The "chimneys" at Natural Chimneys Park I originally had reservations for Big Meadows Campground inside Shenandoah National Park. The weather, however, wasn't going to cooperate. It rained almost the whole week which meant I'd get little to no solar and the temps were going to be a little too warm for no air conditioning. I was somehow able to snag a week at Natural Chimneys Park and Campground in nearby Mt Solon VA even though it was Memorial weekend. But firs

18-23 May 2026 My first time in West Virginia was amazing! The scenery is gorgeous even though the roads were steep, winding and narrow. Everything was lush and green. I stayed at Babcock State Park near New River Gorge National Park. Babcock is a smallish campground and has a historic grist mill in the park. There were lots of trails, but we never got around to exploring any of them. The campground was quiet and very well maintained. They have these swings all over West Virg

2-11 May 2026 We were supposed to leave 1 May but the weather in Livingston was bad so we postponed it a day. In honor of being back on the road I wore my "On the Road Again" t-shirt Our first stop was supposed to be Natchez State Park, MS. I didn't know there was an old and new loop and had booked a site in the old loop. That entire loop should be condemned! The road to it is one way and very narrow. Heaven help you if you meet someone exiting the campground because there's

Since I haven't been blogging for the last two years I thought I'd do an entry explaining what happened. In Mar 2024 I went to the ER with heart palpitations, shortness of breath and could hardly walk 20 feet. To make a long story short, in May 2024 I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, a rare, progressive and incurable lung disease that also caused right sided heart failure. I was extremely sick and was immediately started on several drugs. I got a little bet
