Tuesday July 5th 2016

It rained last night. This is becoming the norm for a moving day. The last three times I moved camp it rained the night before. There were two differences this time. First I did most of the outside tasks the night before and second the morning high humidity stayed all day. The humidity may have even gotten worse.

I got the inside packed up along with the remaining outside tasks and got underway shortly after 11 this morning. The leftover weekend traffic departing the Cape Cod area slowed my progress from the start. My first 5 to 6 miles were in stop and go traffic. Eventually the volume thinned out and the travel was fine. I stopped for gas along the way and was happy to see the price was down a couple of cents from last week. I put in about 41 gallons. I prefer to fill at the start of the day whenever I’m under half a tank.

I arrived at the Boston Minuteman Campground in Littleton MA just before 1PM. At check in I was assigned site 12A. It is a water and electric site in the back of the campground. When I booked a site two weeks ago they had difficulty finding a site that would be available for the entire 2 weeks I will be here. It is a great site with everything I really need. I can easily go 2 weeks without a sewer hookup.

Most of the sites here have better separation than at the campground in Middleborough. My site is just barely deep enough for my 35 foot RV, but the site is very wide. My fireplace is thirty feet or more away from the motorhome. I really like this campground.

I walked around the campground a couple of times after I got setup, had lunch and cooled off a little. Most of the rigs I thought would never leave have left during the two weeks I was down in Middleborough. They have een replaced by other travelers from all over North America.

There is a motorhome here with Alaska plates. I’m betting it has never seen Alaska. It is a new unit that was purchased in Texas. It is likely it was bough over the winter by Winter Texans. That is the term used for people who snowbird in Texas. Why snowbird isn’t enough is beyond me.
