Day 54 – We got up at 7:15 a.m. & were at the Pond kayaking by 9:15. Low 60’s, partly sunny, and quiet. We beat most of the fisherman out there, but by the time we were pulling out, close to 11 a.m., the people were out in full force. The same two Loons and the one Bald Eagle, plus the Kingfishers, were also out and about,

Day 53 – The girls were lazy this morning & let us sleep in again. It rained fairly hard all night, continuing till about noon. 60 degrees when we got up. Kinda muddy out, puddles around the RV, quiet in the campground. Several more campsites were filled in spite of the weather, which kept everyone inside. The kitties continued being lazy.

Day 52 – No more sleeping in for us; the kitties got Rob up at 6:30. Last night it rained lightly for awhile; this morning it’s still overcast & humid, 67 degrees at 7:30 a.m. The Loons were calling this morning, sounding a little like Benedictine Monks chanting, gorgeous. Approaching the weekend, 4 more campsites were filled yesterday. Rob took a bike ride in the hills again, this time going farther.

Day 51 – The girls let us both sleep in & we didn’t get up until 7:45 a.m. It was cloudy, humid, & breezy, 68 degrees. Last night there was a little rain. It looks like there’s a front coming in though. Rob took a bike ride & found it to be very hilly, came back with wobbly knees. The kitties were happily napping as I was drinking my coffee. A Great Blue Heron flew over, loudly squawking.

Day 50 – August in northern NH has been a surprise for us. It’s still the height of Summer, but there are few bugs & the weather isn’t too hot. We didn’t expect to be able to take walks or bike or kayak without bug spray, let alone sit outside with our books. Maybe it would be worse, bug-wise, if we were directly on the water instead of a little walk from the Pond? But whatever, this is pretty nice.

NOTE: NO INTERNET, NO PHONE, so we cannot post the blog until we move somewhere with a connection. We are keeping up with it on a daily basis, just cannot send it out until later. Then it will be a group of them all at once. Oh well……
Day 49 – We were awakened by Loons calling from the Pond; a beautifully haunting melody. This would be a great morning wake-up alarm clock sound! There is no internet signal, nor a cell signal here. We will need to check e-mail, texts, and phone messages today when we go out to explore the area. We’re at the top of a hill; you’d think there’d be a signal here – but no.

Day 48 – We all slept really well, cats included since we didn’t hear a peep out of them until 6:30 a.m. Rob got up then & I followed at 7:00, 58 degrees & sunny. Beautiful day. Today we travel to northern New Hampshire.

TRIP #4 – BACK UP & RUNNING!
Day 47 – When we last posted to the Blog, we were putting this trip on hold until Rob got back from California. We are very happy to be back on the road. We departed home in NY at 9:45 a.m. It was 70 degrees, partly cloudy and a little humid, much cooler & less humid than it had been the last couple of weeks at home. And it rained a lot in NY – everything was SO green at home.

TRIP #4 PUT ON HOLD FOR NOW.
Day 46 – Gorgeous day at 6 a.m., sunny, 55 degrees. We are leaving northern Maine this morning, heading for home. It will take several days to get home, then Rob will be flying out to CA to visit his mom. Depending on how things go, we will continue this trip in a few weeks & will start up the Blog again at that time. This is the last day of trip #4’s Blog, for now.

Monday, July 9 (Day 43) thru Wednesday, July 11, 2018 (Day 45)
Monday, 7/9 – Another hot one today, reached 89 degrees. Ugh. Not humid, but no breeze. (But not even close to the very hot weather in southern CA. To our friends & relatives, take care to stay as cool as possible!) We put the awning out early to keep the direct sun from hitting the RV on one side. By mid-morning, the campground was almost empty & it remained very quiet throughout the day. What a difference from the weekend! We just moved around as little as possible & tried not to get too hot. Missing air conditioning!
