LATE FALL IN ULSTER COUNTY AND VICINITY

The blog has been offline for a few weeks as we moved it to a new hosting provider. We were running out of space for all the pictures! We are now back online and can finally publish this post from almost 2 weeks ago. Let us know if you see any strange issues while viewing the blog. Thanks!

We took another sight seeing drive this weekend. This time we drove through some areas of Ulster County that we hadn’t driven through in a long time. Around Thanksgiving it rained at our house and apparently snowed a bit in the Catskills.

GOING HOME!

TRAVEL DAY

From: Spacious Skies Minuteman Campground, Littleton, MA.

To:Home, NY!

Day 181 – It was 49 degrees at 7 a.m. this morning. We departed at 9:45 a.m., 51 degrees, and it was partly cloudy. Little did the girls know that they were going home. They think they’re just going to another campground – would there be trees and birds; would there be ocean; would there would be lots of people?

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!

TRAVEL DAY

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.

This final post from Trip #8 is being written from home in New York on October 10. Kinda late, huh? This is the blog post covering the last day of our trip, from MA to NY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SOPHIE!

TRAVEL DAY: BERNARDSTON, MASSACHUSETTS TO HOME IN NEW YORK.

Day 123 – We got up at 7:05 in the morning; it was 61 degrees and sunny. The girls were in a great mood. They’d remembered this campground and Pixie was watching the birds flitting about in her favorite tree, right outside the bedroom window. As we began to pack up and they realized we weren’t staying, their moods changed, and they dejectedly were carried to the bedroom for the trip home.

CHANGING CAMPSITES (NOT CAMPGROUNDS).

Day 65 – Because someone had reserved our campsite for the weekend, we had to move on, or change campsites. Because the place we are going next had no campsites available tonight, we had to change campsites within the same campground, Long Point State Park. This morning we checked with the rangers and they said they’d let us know when our new campsite was available to check in, based on when the current residents left. We had most of the morning free to relax.
