We've been three weeks in (mostly) Maine. They have some beautiful flowers here and they really take the time to make everything (like the library bench below) as beautiful as possible.
Now we begin the long trip home...ugg!

We flew up there a few years ago. We rented a cottage south of Camden, and before heading into town the owner said "Camden is pretty touristy". We didn't think so at all, it was very lovely.
We're from Florida, our idea of touristy is quite different.

I'm jealous, I love that part of the northeast. Beautiful.

As we turn for home I remember this quote from Charlie Chaplin... "As I returned home, I had a disquieting feeling of sinking back into commonplaceness"
Touring in our vintage camper always makes us feel special.

I notice a distinct lack of campsite clutter. Do you do all your cooking in the camper?

I notice a distinct lack of campsite clutter. Do you do all your cooking in the camper? Waiting to see the answer on this one myself. While camping in KY several years ago at a TearJerkers gathering, a couple from TN stopped by to look at our "set up". Their site had cooking equipment, several "easy up" style tents, chairs, tables, etc (a lot of time consuming "stuff"). Ours site on the other hand looked more like nccamper's site. They made this statement and it made sense; "Oh, you're not campers, you're travelers" We don't spend much time around a campsite when on vacation. Just need a place to sleep. We're there to see the sites... |

I notice a distinct lack of campsite clutter. Do you do all your cooking in the camper? It depends on the weather and if we are passing through. This trip I had to drive a few days over 300 miles. By the time we find a site, i’m beat. Only the basics get unpacked. If it's hot we try to cook everything outside. This trip it was cool/cold at night so cooking inside warms the camper up. After the 6000 mile, month and a half, trip out west I wasn't really ready for the Maine trip three weeks later and towing (another 2800 miles) seemed harder. The east coast can have a lot of tractor trailers on the highways and in NYC, Washington DC, Baltimore, etc, the roads are rough. I grew up here so I can say it...the roads stink on the east coast. In the cities the lanes are narrower, no shoulder and everyone driving like lunatics. With that said, the trip was fun. Today, two miles from home this happened...
I'm not kidding, 2 miles. I was standing at a red light and the tire just went flat. I couldn't ask for a better way to get a flat while towing.
A few photos from a state park in PA.
Funny thing, my wife and I stayed here on the drive to Maine and on the return trip I said in all seriousness, "This is kind of creepy, I'm having a duja vu experience like I've been here before." She laughed and said we stayed there a few weeks earlier on the drive up.
It was time to go home. I've been towing too much lately. My wife doesn't like to tow and I apparently reached my limit.
