Tuesday June 21st 2016

Today was moving day. I relocated from Littelton MA to Middleborough MA. The weather was very similar to my last relocation day. A line of thunderstorms went through in the early morning followed by hot and sticky. Today was in the mid 80s.

Preparing to travel after a rain storm has a few nasty side effects. The outside stuff is wet. It either needs to be dried or packed carefully wet. Anything put away wet has to be dried out at the earliest possible opportunity. When the RV slide out rooms are retracted they shed lots of water onto the ground and sometimes a little into the RV. This time I was lucky, nothing came in.

The other weather related impact is that the hot and humid conditions zap me pretty quickly. By the time I’ve got the rig ready to roll, I need a nap. As I get to the hook up process for the car, I need to be very careful to make sure I do everything right. This is both for the mechanical integrity of the car and the overall safety. Today I was not as careful as I should have been backing up the car. The bike rack on back made contact with a bolder or two. No real damage to anything but my ego. It was a reminder to slow down and double check everything.

Site 255 at the Boston/Cape Cod KOA in Middleboro MA.

I arrived at the Middleborough KOA after a trip of about 70 miles. I have a site here until after the July 4th holiday. I’m paying a premium rate for the holiday weekend. They are throwing in a few extra activities that weekend, but I doubt they’ll be anything I’m interested in. I have a good site near the laundry in the middle of the campground. After my two weeks here, I’m going back to Littleton for 2 more weeks.

Given that it was still very warm and humid, I took my time setting up. It was a do a little bit, eat a late lunch, do a little bit more, watch some TV, etc… Late in the afternoon just in time for the after work traffic, I made a grocery run. There is a Super Walmart a few miles away. So far, I haven’t found a traditional grocery store in the nearby area.

Back to the commuting to the house routine tomorrow.
