The drive from New York into Vermont was really pretty. It wasn't quite peak colors but f all was definitely settling in due to the lack of rain. We drove to Bennington stopping at Hogback Mountain viewing area and checking out the Hogback Mountain Country Store. We visited Bennington Battle Monument that commemorates the Battle of Bennington during the Revolutionary War. The monument is  306 feet 4 and 1/2 inches tall and features an observation deck with views of three states. The cornerstone was laid in 1887, and the monument completed and dedicated in 1891.       We drove past this beautiful Church, Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales, a Roman Catholic Church. We also visited Robert Frost's Stone House.  The Stone House, built in 1769, is the site where Frost wrote, among other notable poems, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” “Fire And Ice,” and the book  New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes.  We had Echo s...

It's time to catch up on the blog, we have been absent for 4 months. I forgot to post some pics of the last few stays on our way to Alabama. Y'all remember the Dukes of Hazard? Well we stayed at John Schneider Studios in Holden, LA. We were told that he is on his property most of the time however we didn't see him while we were there. After Louisiana, we drove to Destin, FL and stayed at Destin Army Infantry Recreational area. We checked out the area and visited with friends Marty and Liz Crocco. From Destin, we made our way to Valdosta, GA to visit our granddaughter Thereasa. We only spent a couple nights but got to meet her dog Mazikeen.  We also got a visit a wildlife preserve. We fell in love with Fairhope Motorcoach Resort so in February we bought a lot with a beautiful outdoor living area. This will be where we come for the winter months.  The resort has a ton of activities and events like Mardi Gras, where we had a gulf cart parade, and party afterwards.  A tree in...

We made it home to AZ. After fueling up, we rolled into our yard and you could see it had been ignored. It will take us a bit to catch up especially in the heat. We purchased our 40' Class A RV in January of this year. I had a work trip in late January and then COVID hit so were not able to take it out and enjoy it. I had another work trip to Wisconsin in June and August so we worked it out that we would live in our RV during those 6 weeks rather than me flying, renting a car and staying in hotels. Additionally, I had vacation and 2 weeks of furlough so in between the June and August times I needed to be in Wisconsin we traveled out to Washington state and back to Wisconsin.  Our first long trip came to an end on August 21. This trip has proved that we can do this on a more full-time basis. Check out the details of our trip... We were on the road 85 days. We we slept in 18 states. We visited 2 National Parks and 2 State Parks We stayed at 8 Harvest Hosts, 4 COE's (Army Core of ...
