Posted on September 18, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

You may have noticed I’ve changed the name of the blog.  The previous name was really boring and I thought it was time for a new one. Rain is in the forecast for tonight so we set out early this … Continue reading →

Camden Hills State Park

Posted on September 17, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

We had spent the last two nights in a Walmart parking lot, but we’re ready for a break from that, so we have moved further up the coast, stopping for a propane fill along the way. This is not a … Continue reading →

Brunswick, ME

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

This part of Main has more craggy peninsulas and offshore islands than it does wide sandy beaches.  It does make for some beautiful views.  There are a few roads into the peninsulas where you can find some vacation homes and … Continue reading →

L L Bean

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

We left Falmouth early this morning and went about 10 miles up to Freeport.  The first thing we saw was free RV parking!  OMG! (but not overnight).  In fact I think this whole town is free parking everywhere, including a … Continue reading →

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

This is where we are now, in an RV park that has two names:  Wild Acres Resort and Virginia Park Resort.  Two resorts that merged last year.  It’s a very wooded resort/park and includes park models, RV sites, and tent sites. … Continue reading →

Marginal Way Scenic Walk

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

39 degrees this morning!  A bit chilly for us, so we ran the furnace for the first time this fall.  It worked fine, thank goodness.  But then the sun came out and things warmed up to around 70 something. When … Continue reading →

Ocean Park

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

We did a little exploring this morning and came across this dock filled with lobster traps.  There was a restaurant right there too, but it was too early and they weren’t open. I’ve been seeing these chocolate sandwich things in … Continue reading →

Kennebunkport, Maine

Posted on September 9, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

It rained overnight but it was nothing compared to what we’ve been hearing about in the rest of the country.  No tornadoes or high winds  for us (knock on wood).  We left Portsmouth and drove up the coast about an … Continue reading →

I don’t think I’ve ever been to such a fabulous Farmers Market as the one we went to this morning in Portsmouth.  There were tons of vendors and loads of very fresh fruits and veggies all displayed in a beautiful and … Continue reading →

It’s time to move on.  We said goodbye for now to Bob and Bobbi and headed towards the Ocean, going only as far as Portsmouth, NH. We took the Jeep for a drive along the beach road again.  The very … Continue reading →

Stonehenge and Frost

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

There’s another Stonehenge here.  This one claims to be authentic and does not look at all like it’s namesake.  This one looks more like stacks of rocks made into chambers, walls and ceremonial meeting places.  It is most likely the … Continue reading →

Rainy Day

Rain, rain, rain.  So nothing much to blog about today.  The wild turkey family stopped by for a visit. In between rain showers we made a run to the laundromat in town to wash some clothes.  Then later we met … Continue reading →

Cars and Clydesdales

Posted on September 1, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

A car show in Manchester was a must do for us, so up early and off we go.  They closed off several blocks of the downtown area and filled it with cars and food vendors.  Still no cheese curds, corn … Continue reading →

Fair Fare

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

New Hampshire does fairs a bit differently than what we are used to in Minnesota.  Think of them more as regional fairs.  There is even a 4-H fair.  Today we attended the Hopkinton State Fair which is an agriculture fair. … Continue reading →

Our outing today was to the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord.  Admission is $5.50 each.  It’s not a large museum but very nicely done.  Inside there is a mock fire watch tower you can climb up to look … Continue reading →
