We bought a Sticks and Bricks house but Paul still needed his RV and I wasn’t ready to stop exploring all the cool corners of the USA so we bought a 19′ Roadtrek! Yep you read that right! 19 whole feet! My bedroom in the last RV was bigger than that. We have a toilet, shower, queen bed, 2 burner stove a refrigerator and a closet! Everything you need! Or so it seems! It’s a very nice 1 man RV but pretty cozy for 2 and a dog.
Includes: Refrigerator, bed, closet, pantry, toilet, shower, stove, microwave!
We took our first trip, a two night stay in Yosemite. Yosemite was beautiful and the RV did its job.
Our next adventure was to Port Orford Oregon. Paul went a week early and I joined him via our friends here in the compound (that’s what I call Sun City Roseville). That worked out pretty well as we were only sleeping in it as our friends Ed and Peggy have a beautiful home right there to host us.
Paul has been on a couple trips by himself which is the main purpose of it being so small ( I think!). Sometimes I think it is a test!
Our big adventure started the end of July. Paul left by himself with Duke. I’m sure after a day or two of endless driving across country Duke was thinking ‘ how come I have to go with him’! Anyway the plan was for Paul to drive across country working and I would fly and meet him! After all he is the one that lives to drive. Stephanie, our youngest daughter and I flew to Boston and had a fabulous time for 5 days before Paul met us in Salem. Salem, now that’s an interesting story! Paul picked us up at the ferry and dropped us in town while he visited another customer. We had lunch and then took a hop on hop off tour! The plan was to ride it the loop and then go back to the sites we wanted, well we got the guy who usually does the ferry transfers and he loved to talk. What was suppose to be a 40 minute ride was 2 hours. Our ears were so tired that we just sat in the park and said” what was that?” We did make it to see the house that Nathan Hawthorne’s book The House of Seven Gables is written about. That’s an interesting story. He never lived there, his friends sister or aunt lived there.
Paul picked us up after our afternoon and we headed north. The plan was to return to a couple of the spots from our last trip to the northeast and we did. First stop that evening was The Clam Shack in New Hampshire. This new RV has only 2 seats so Stephanie co-piloted and Duke and I layed on the bed.
We found the clam shack where last time I had the best scallops I have ever had! We had them again and they were amazing! I would move here if I thought I could eat those as much as I wanted. Not really because…..
So far so good! We head a bit further north to get near Salisbury where we will have our first lobster. We find a campground where Paul and Stephanie set up her tent! And now the real east appears! The mosquitos are in full force! Where did I put the bug spray! And that is where the adventure gets interesting.
