BACK TO OUR LAND.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Wolfe’s Neck Oceanfront Camping, Freeport, ME.
To: Our Land, Downeast Maine.
Day 3 – It was 38 degrees and cloudy this morning when we got up. We departed Wolfe’s Neck at 9:10 a.m. The girls were not as resistant to going on another drive in the RV. They are adapting quickly, thank goodness.
LOBSTER STEW.
Day 2 – The high yesterday was 59 degrees and it was 35 last night & clear. Today was beautiful – sunny with a little breeze, and the high was 48 degrees. Cooler than NY. In the morning we relaxed at the RV, caught up on some blogging, and close to noon we went into town, Freeport.

TRAVEL DAY
From: Home, New York.
To: Wolfe’s Neck Oceanfront Camping, Freeport, Maine (ME).
Day 1 – It was 41 degrees, clear & sunny, at 6 a.m. this morning when we got up. We departed home at 8:45 a.m. (45 degrees) and were a bit sad to leave. We really do love our home. The girls felt the same, particularly Pixie, who did NOT want to go back to the bedroom, their traveling place in the RV. As we were getting ready to leave, we realized something was missing. No, not a cat, but the camera! Um, we don’t want to forget that!
Hello Friends & Family! We hope you all got through the winter safely and are feeling healthy & happy. Today is April 21 and we are sitting inside the RV, parked at a campground in Freeport, Maine. Before we begin blogging about our next adventure, we’ll do a recap of our time spent at home between trips and include some pictures. It’s nice to be “speaking with” all of you again!

It’s been cold here & sunny. The day after we got home, we did get a few brief snow flurries, but they didn’t stay on the ground. The snow that was forecast for beginning Thanksgiving night and lasting a couple of days has changed completely to no snow and rain for 2 days instead. Oh well.

From: Nummy Lake Recreation Area, Belleplain State Forest, CCC Campground, Woodbine, NJ.
To: HOME.
Day 404 – It was 30 degrees with no wind this morning when we got up. We sat around with our coffee and tea, looking at the NY Times online. Relaxing, but it’s never feel-good news. The fact that we’re heading home soon is always in the back of our minds. There’s so much to do when you get home, and we really didn’t want this trip to end. What shape will the house be in? Have mice invaded during our 13+ months of being on the road? Have big trees come down and are they blocking our driveway? What appliances will come back on, and what will need to be fixed? Unpacking the RV, now that’s always fun. I’m thinking I should just go back to bed.
A BUSY DAY.
Day 403 – Well, you can’t be lazy every day. We decided to go back to the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. It was 30 degrees last night and is supposed to get into the 20’s tonight. It was less windy this morning. We figured we’d better go out today since it continues getting colder for the next few days.
Continue readingANOTHER COLD DAY.
Day 402 – Yep, winter is here. It recently snowed in NY and is supposed to snow again a couple of days after we get home. Here in NJ it is cold and windy. The low last night was 39 degrees, and today the high was only 45. The wind makes it feel much colder than that. We stayed at home in the RV except for a trip to the closest grocery store, 20 minutes away. We don’t mind cuddling with the girls; we’ll take that kind of day anytime.
A STAY-AT-HOME DAY.
Day 401 – It rained hard all night and was very cold and windy today. We stayed at home, wrapped in blankets and cats. It was a very nice day. This campground is quite nice, especially off-season. The campsites are spacious and there are plenty of trees and bushes between the sites. Only a few people are camping now; it will probably get busier over the weekend. For now, it’s peaceful and quiet.Yawn!
COLD & RAINY.
Day 400 – Another cold morning at 33 degrees when we got up, it only reached 52 degrees today. It started raining in the late afternoon and it’s supposed to continue into tomorrow. They are expecting snow tonight and maybe tomorrow where we live in NY. We’re sorry to miss that, but our time will come soon.
