Boston, Mass; Patriot’s City! Part 1

From a historical perspective, Boston Massachusetts has been on our must see list since we began our full-time RV travels just over a year ago.  This is where our great country began from the Plymouth Rock landing of the Mayflower to the first battles of our Independence.

We also met up with our RV friends Suzanne and Calvin in Boston.  They arrived in town a week earlier and are staying at an RV park on the south side.  So we agreed to meet at the subway parking lot to enjoy a ride into town and spend a couple of days sightseeing!

Waterloo NY; the New York Finger Lakes Region

Relocation and Travel

This was a low miles/stress travel day at 93 miles from Ives Run COE park in Tioga PA to Waterloo NY.  It was a little rainy at first, but it turned out to be a very nice day.  Due to some start and stop driving through some small towns, our fuel mileage was only about 9.5 mpg, and at $3.59 the cost was $35.  Not too bad.

A very scenic and low stress, back roads, travel day. I like it!

Tioga & Wellsboro, PA; a Charming Town & the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania

Our next stop on the 2018 agenda is to a small town on the northern border of Pennsylvania, next to New York.  Our campground is the Ives Run Corps of Engineers park in Tioga, PA, located near the picturesque town of  Wellsboro, PA.  This is the same park we stayed a week last year.  Our drive was a little longer than we like at about 200 miles, but it all worked out fine!  Here is the link to our website for last year’s visit (Link).

Our route to the rural north central part of Pennsylvania.

Lancaster & Lititz PA; Amish Area & Torrential Rain

A classic backyard garden.

We recently relocated from a very nice great week long stay in Washington DC to the Amish area of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  It is also known as the Pennsylvania Dutch Country.  Lancaster is located in the south central part of the state.  This was a mostly easy drive of only 110 miles, but we had some traffic to deal with in DC, Baltimore, and York PA.  And parts of I-83 were terribly rough.

But, it was a safe drive and we arrived early in the day at around 2pm.  Our RV friends, Calvin and Sue arrived the day before we did and were there to welcome us.

Williamsburg, VA; A Very Colonial Experience

Living in Virginia, we have been to Williamsburg a couple of times before and always enjoy returning.  So, we added this delightful stop to our 2018 itinerary for a one week stay.  In addition to strolling through all of the old Colonial Williamsburg, we also were able to meet up with some new friends that we met in Florida, Sue and Calvin. We had a great time exploring this town with them! Continue reading “Williamsburg, VA; A Very Colonial Experience”
