September 12: Day 57
2,925 miles away from home – we finally made it to Acadia National Park in Maine. Long drive from New Hampshire but made it in time for Stewies supper. We are staying at the Seawall campground which is just across from the sea wall beach. On our walk there we came across numerous deer, who…

September 11th: Day 56
We have been anticipating this day for a long time. I am a zipline junkie. So we planned a zip lining experience with Dans cousins at Bretten Woods, which is a ski area in New Hampshire. The canopy tour includes a network of platforms high up in the ancient hemlock trees connected by nine ziplines,…

September 10th: Day 55
A full day to explore Groton State Park which Ricker Pond is a part of. Vermont had a trial system that apparently goes all the way through the state. It is well maintained and it is shaded by trees. Because it is fairly flat, you feel like you can go on forever. You could Groton…

September 9th: Day 54- Ricker Pond State Park
On the way to our next campground we had business to take care of. Our RV bed was not meant to be slept in for 78 days in a row. We found a compatible mattress to buy, not an easy task since we needed a 10 inch mattress. Did laundry again, not a fun task…

September 8th: Day 53
Another fun self guided biking tour today. We went north to see the Hyde Log Cabin, the first cabin built in Vermont then on to the west shore. Our final destination was Snow Farm Vineyards. We did a couple of tastings and had Vermont cheese and sausage. Back to camp to swim in Lake Champlain…

September 7: Day 52
Grand Isle State Park is the most visited campground in the state park system. It is a biking Mecca. We rode a recommended route today to see stone castles. We were looking for life sized castles and couldn’t find them. It turns out there were miniature castles. Part of the route followed along the shore…

September 6th: Day 51
Woke up to a a light mist of rain- this kind of rain does not exist in Arizona. It is also obvious that Labor Day is behind us and kids are back in school and families are back to their routines. The campground was a ghost town. Made our way to Burlington to grocery shop…

September 5th- Day 50
We took a holiday from our normal go, go, go lifestyle today. It was cloudy, rainy and cold so we took it easy. We went to the town hall so Dan could pick his players for Fantasy football. Now that’s dedication. He had to hold an umbrella while on his phone. We have a hiking…

September 4: Day 49-21,000 steps
We are averaging 15,000 steps a day on this trip. We normally take a lot of walks throughout the day to take in the sights and entertain ourselves. Today we did a hard hike up Elmore Mountain. The elevation gain was about 1500 feet. It was more challenging coming down. Lots of roots to navigate…

September 3rd: Day 48- from mundane to fireworks
Despite the history of my posts, our trip has not been all rainbows and butterflies. We have grocery shopping to do, cleaning and laundry on a weekly basis. Today we went into Montpellier to do laundry. Dan’s Uncle John and his wife Fran live here part of the year and their friends Kate and Keith…
