New Jersey

Posted on November 3, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

We didn’t get as far as we wanted to today.  When we left the campground we immediately got stuck in traffic due to some road construction.  That ate up an hour of our time.  We passed a sign that said … Continue reading →

Posted on October 30, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

Well, I guess we missed it.  Either it wasn’t all that bad where we are or we just were oblivious to it while we were inside the casino. The first time we drove out to see if the RV was OK we … Continue reading →

Hurricane Sandy

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

So far what we have experienced of this “Frankenstorm” hasn’t been any worse than any storm we’ve ever experienced in Minnesota.  Maybe that’s because we’re in a sweet location.  Sandy’s route hits land in New Jersey and goes west inland … Continue reading →
