Tuesday May 24th 2016

When I got up this morning it was raining. The TV weather talkers showed the radar with bands of rain moving through the area. My challenge was to find one of the gaps in the rain to pickup and move the RV to my next location.

For the most part, I succeeded in avoiding the worst of the rain. Around 9AM it had stopped enough for me to do the outside pickup chores. I took extra time emptying the holding tanks since I’ll be back on the tanks for next week or so. It’s always better to travel and start with empty tanks. Shortly after 11AM I had the car hooked up and was on my way.

With a stop for gas, it took about 2 hours to get to my new camp at Travelers Woods of New England in Bernardston MA. The weather cooperated only raining for a short distance. The first part of the trip was on good highways and the last part on narrower single lane roads that were just OK.

This is an older campground. The sites are around a field alongside a stream. I’ve been here several times before, but not since the late 1990s. I have a site on the side of the stream that was a seasonal site last year. I pulled into the site so that my front window looks out on the stream.

I am lucky to have a site for the Memorial day holiday. I didn’t plan far enough ahead. I may have a similar problem for Independence day if I don’t get to work on a reservation. Making reservations for sites ahead of time is not something I’m used to doing. In my weekend camping days, it wasn’t as necessary. You had a good sense ahead of time where you could find vacancies. Now there is more competition for the limited number of campsites in New England.
