Diane: Arrived in Bar Harbor
After two days of biking, and enjoying the beaches (and seals) along the Cape Cod National Seashore, we set out for Bar Harbor on Monday morning. The day started out with a success. Until this morning, we had been eyeballing the RV pin and the truck hitch to align them using the RV controls. This…

E – Another lesson learned
Well you should never leave Cape Cod on a holiday Monday. Yesterday was a rather long travel day. It started out fine enough, we targeted a 9 o’clock departure and we’re out the gate by 9:15…within 20 minutes we realized “holy smokes, this is like coming down from the Muskokas on a Sunday or holiday…

E – A big event and other tidbits
So…as many of you know there was a specific incident on the test trip a bunch of years ago that had a significant impact on the trip…and not in a positive way and it put me in a position where, strategically, I didn’t think it wise to talk about integrating RV’ing of any sort into…

Diane: Hyannis
This morning, we headed out to Hyannis. It’s a pretty port town, although there’s a surprising lack of coffee shops open before 11:00 a.m. Once properly caffeinated, we went to the John F. Kennedy Museum. This is a very small museum that took about 30 minutes to tour, but was well worth the visit. We…

Diane: Provincetown
So, three days in, we’re ready to head out and see some sights. We went to Provincetown on Thursday morning. It’s a nice place to meander and check out the shops and waterfront. ….or maybe enjoy a hot lobster roll (E). Personally, I’m on a tuna sashimi roll. 😂 Next, we checked out Race Point…

E – The Cape and first couple days
The drive from our first overnight to Cape Cod was much nicer than the first leg. Being on a major highway like I-90 rather than smaller and or hillier secondary highways makes a difference in the whole driving experience . All went well and we got into Cape Cod and to our destination – Atlantic…

E – Getting going and Day 1
Well day one is in the books and what a start. First let’s rewind a little…Di and I had volunteered at the CP Womens Open held at our golf club the week leading up to our departure and that was a little more tiring than we had expected. We essentially left straight from the golf…

E – Beginnings
So big day…picked up the 5th wheel! We bought this one year old rig off a fantastic couple who have been extremely helpful with providing insights and training. The day went very smoothly as we went through hook up and unhooking before I drove it up to the lake where we will keep it between…

Diane: Arrived in Cape Cod
We arrived in Cape Cod on Tuesday at the Atlantic Oaks Campground in Eastham, MA. After a few days on long drives, I was really looking forward to heading out on my bike on Wednesday. The easiest place to get started was on the Cape Code Rail Trail that passes behind the campground. I took…

Diane: And We’re Off
August 29, 2022 Good news. E did a great job driving, and we successfully arrived at our first stop—Arrowhead Marina & RV Park in Glenville, New York—late in the afternoon. Unhitching the RV went smoothly, and all appliances, air conditioning and water heating systems started as expected. We were toasting our first day quickly. We…
