Tuesday, May 29, Sturbridge, MA

Today we drove from Guilford, CT (our Harvest Hosts campsite) To Monson, CT where we stayed the evening at SunsetView Farm Campgrounds. Nice clean campground with all the typical amenities, but our campsite was pretty much out in the open except for one tree...the one that blocked our satellite reception.

We drove up to Old Sturbridge Village hoping to walk around for a few hours but they were closed that day. We killed the few hours by driving through some of the quaint New England towns in the area.

About 3pm, we drove up to Marv Moriarty's beautiful custom home in the wooda on a hilltop. We sat with Marv and his friend Gregg for a couple hours chatting, then Barb and I headed back to the motorhome to get ready to host Marv and Gregg for a campfire and dinner. We had a great meal of steaks cooked on a tripod over an open fire, baked potatoes in the fire and corn roasted in the husk on the tripod. For desert we had ice cream. Gregg brought several varieties of craft beers which were very good.

We finally broke up about 11:30, exhausted.

Departure Day: Sunday, May 27

It was a rainy, dreary Sunday morning when we left at about 10am. The ride to our first stop in Guilford, CT took a little over 4 hours, much of it in rain and gloomy skies. We reached our destination, Bishop's Orchards , at about 2:15pm. This place is a member of the HarvestHosts organization, a group of several hundred wineries, orchards, farms, etc who let let subscribers like me stay on their properties in their RV overnight. This particular place is very nice, consisting of a large supermarket that sells just about anything you'd find in any supermarket, but much of it with local origins. When we got here, the manager told us that we could stay as long as we like so long as we advise each day when we're going to extend. We made a decision to spend 2 nights here, one before our trip to Mystic and one after. Weather here is cold and damp with temperatures in the low 60's. It will probably get down into the 50's overnight.

Thursday, June 14 - Sprint to Central Massachusetts

Today we got an early start and drove all the way to central Massachusetts. We stopped at Freeport, ME for about 2 hours to go to the LL Bean outlet store, then back on the road. We arrived at our campground about 5:00pm. We have electricity, water and sewer here, so were able to replenish our expendables, do laundry, get showers and dump tanks. Today we're planning to drive to someplace TBD north of Scranton where we'll spend the night, returning home on Saturday.
