Maine!

One thing we did just before we left Nashville was wash the motorhome, including the roof that gets so bad in Florida.  For those of you that full time, you realize washing your rig can be a big deal as the vast majority of parks don't allow it.  Four Corners allows it so we took advantage, and amazingly enough we made it all the way to Maine without any rain! 

We stopped one night in Max Meadows, VA at a new to us park, Fort Chiswell which was a perfect overnight, right off the interstate with long pull throughs.  Then we pushed to Pine Grove, PA to Twin Grove, another good overnight easily accessible with long pull throughs, which the next day got us to Brattleboro, VT to the KOA, one of our favorites.  It is a small park owned by a young couple that have done an excellent job of improving it year after year.  Lots of shade, nice sites, beautiful grounds.  

We bought a corned beef intending to have it for St Paddy's day but had never gotten to it, so on our first cool night in Vermont, Jan cooked it up, traditional corned beef and cabbage, delicious.  But kind of like with Thanksgiving turkey, for us the best part is the sandwiches the next day, and in this case, beautiful homemade reubens with, of course, a Guinness:-)

We spent the afternoon working on our cigar inventory.

I have shared before that there are two specific things we like to do when in Brattleboro.  Go to Stapleton's General Store in Proctorsville for one of their sandwiches, and then on to the Woodstock Farmer's Market.  We had a gorgeous day for it, blue skies, and up here the trees are just budding out.  It was even warm enough to sit outside for our lunch.

The special of the day fried chicken strips and a Caesar salad on a wrap

And a delicious roast beef and cheddar

Then on to Woodstock which was especially nice since we are ahead of the summer crowds so the store was only busy, not SRO:-)  Sometimes they have locally raised pork, and we hit the jackpot, Jan bought out their supply of loin chops and shoulder chops, only 4 each so don't get the wrong idea.  It is a wonderful store so if you are ever in the neighborhood, it is definitely worth a visit.

Then on to Maine, and Bayley's Camping Resort for the next 7 weeks.  We still have to get settled in.  Watch out lobsters, we're coming for you!!!
