It's Columbus Day Weekend and it's the end of tourist season in NH. With the late autumn foliage this year the colors have not yet peaked but it's time for us visitors to get out of town. Our campground for the last two nights closes at noon on Monday. We chose today...
Stopping by woods on an autumn day, we hobnobbed with the spirit of the poet at The Frost Place in Franconia NH. Robert Frost purchased this house and farm from a local family in 1915 and sold it back to them in 1920. Of the myriad places he lived, from San Francisco...
This Columbus Day weekend is the peak of the Leaf Peeper season here in the White Mountains. Lodgings and campgrounds tend to be filled to capacity by folks who made reservations months ago. We on the other hand opted to arrive yesterday without reservations and hope...
Wow! It seems the colors popped out overnight! We made our way from east of Montpelier on into New Hampshire today glorying in the gorgeous autumn foliage. We stopped by a historic covered bridge along the way. Once we got settled into our campsite, we headed into the...
After yesterday's adventures, we settled in on Site 70 at Oxbow Campground near Hillsborough NH. It's a pretty little family owned place with spacious sites and friendly folks. Our overnight in New Hampshire qualifies us for a new state sticker, our first since...

It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
