Got Pictures!!!!

Crossing the bridge into New York State . . . A few days later, I noticed my camera's date was incorrect - going back to 2007. It must have had a melt-down when I wasn't looking!












Chicopee Sportsmen's Club is about a mile from my sister's house. We dry camped there from Thursday until Wednesday. That means no electricity, running water or sewage. Weather was great, but some nights were pretty cold!


























Quabbin Reservoir is about 15 miles from Granby. As kids, we were always going for a ride through the area. Unfortunately since 911, it is no longer possible to drive across the dam.























Kellogg Hall in Granby - a quick picture taken from the truck's window!! If you click on the link, there are more pictures of Granby - and the old picture of the Police Department, a neighbor, Dwight Tucker, and my brother-in-law's dad, Ed Martin, and his sister's husband, Myron Ingham, are in that picture.











We left Granby on Wednesday because the weather report said it was going to rain for the next few days. Being in a trailer without electricity or heat wasn't that appealing, so we decided to head for New York. We stayed at the Turning Stone Campground for three nights. We later found out there wasn't much to do in the area other than gamble at the casino.

























The black clouds even followed us back to Canada!

It's Good to be Home!

We made it home around 2:30 this afternoon. Trailer is unpacked, just have to give the floor a good scrubbing. The rest of the inside, I cleaned while still hooked up to water.

I'll upload pictures and tell you all about our vacation tomorrow.

It's Still Raining!

We're hoping it will stop long enough so we can enjoy more of the area and check out the casino.

Tomorrow we head home.

Still Camping!

But now it's raining. At least the temperatures have warmed up and we're not freezing. We now have electricity, running water and sewage. All the necessities of life. Our hope today is to get out of the trailer and do a little touring. There's a casino close by and some factory outlet stores.

We pulled into the Turning Stone Campground yesterday afternoon, but it took me until this morning to figure out how to get on the internet.

Everything is Done!

Trailer is packed and hooked to the truck. We could leave tonight, but that's not going to happen. Instead, we'll be on the road around six tomorrow morning. The trip is 460 miles, usually takes around nine hours.

Plans are to dry camp at the Sportsmen's Club for at least a week. On the way home we will be staying a few nights at the Turning Stone Resort - in New York. We were there once before - it's a beautiful area - campsites are large and clean. No plans to gamble, although we will probably walk around the casino to see what is going on.

Should be back June 1.

We're Going Camping!

With just today and tomorrow left before we head to Massachusetts, we were busy. Cleaning, packing - we have to get it done. I've already done two loads of laundry, vacuumed and have put clothes in the trailer, enough for at least 12 days. Bruce has done everything on his 'list' for today.

Tomorrow afternoon, hook the trailer up and we're ready to head out Thursday morning - early!!

Elvis . . .

On the way to Memphis, we stopped in Tupelo to visit the birth place of Elvis and the little house where he lived for a short time.

Tupelo, Mississippi






















Memphis, Tennessee

After settling into our motel, we decided to eat at Marlow's which is known for its barbecue.













Graceland









































Can you tell it was raining the whole time we were there?



















Lorraine Motel - where M.L. King was Assassinated















That's about all the popular places we visited on our road trip. Our next stop was Lexington, Kentucky. This is a beaufiful city and we definitely want to go back and spend time there. Next stop, 'The Mothman.' I posted "Mothman" pictures while on vacation. Our last two stops were Cumberland, Maryland, and Syracuse, New York.

On Thursday, we hook up the RV and head for Granby, Massachusetts!!!!!
