In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Huron, OH......................>









Randolf, NY








Cooperstown, NY




Pownal, VT

Our first stop westbound was Friday night in Pownal, VT so we can add Vermont to our RV state map. We overnighted with Stan & Connie, it was fun (sarcastic word) taking the secondary roads across NH & VT. The mountains are just hills compared to out west but the ups & downs are short but steep and you can't get much speed up before climbing. One took us down to 20mph, the slowest we have every climbed.

The second stop was in Cooperstown, NY Saturday & Sunday nights to see Bill & Judye Teetz at the Mid Atlantic chapter rally of HitchHikers International. We had an exciting moment when we turned onto NY route 20 and BANG.....a clearance warning sign of 12'8". We are 13'4". Stan had also made the turn so we stopped traffic so I could back up and cut through a lot to avoid the low clearance. Saturday night the six of us went to a BBQ place called Brooks that Bill has been going to since high school, it was good! Spending the night in NY completed our goal to spend at least one night in our RV in all the lower 48 states. Mission accomplished in 4 years & 3 months. Sunday we attended a potluck at the HitchHiker rally.

Monday morning we bid farewell to Stan & Connie before pulling out. We have been with either (or both) Mel & Dee and Stan & Connie since May in Washington DC. We made the 300+ mile trip to Randolf, NY to spend Monday night.

Tuesday night was in Huron, OH after 200 uneventful miles. The way it should be!
