Yesterday’s humidity was a thing of the past. It was a low humidity day with the high temperatures only in the mid 70s. Unfortunately, there was also a lot of wind. Not a good thing for a moving day.

I took my time this morning completing the preparation for moving my RV home. I got on the road at noon right at the campgrounds checkout time. The 60 mile trip was uneventful except for dealing with the wind. Traffic going through Worcester cooperated and I avoided the Massachusetts Turnpike by taking route 20 all the way from Auburn. Worcester did give me a good bouncing. Opening the refrigerator and some of the cabinets necessitated the need to play catch the contents. Always a fun game.

My home for the next 6 days is the Village Green Family Campground in Brimfield MA. This campground is right on route 20. It was devastated by the tornado 5 years ago in June. All of the trees and many of the buildings in the campground were leveled. I believe there was a fatality in one of the campers. The campground is still not back to full operation. The back area of the campground still hasn’t been complete cleared of wrecked RVs and reopened. The front area has new facilities and some new access roads are under construction.

Site 109 in the safari field of the Village Green Family Campground.

I am parked in the safari field. They do not have any groups scheduled while I’m here. Getting the RV level was a real challenge. The first site I was assigned had to much slope for my automatic levelers. If I used blocks under the wheels and jacks, my bottom step would have been more than 2 feet off the ground. I walked back to the office and got assigned another site. I am now successfully level on the new site, but it was also a challenge. If I was only staying a night or two I wouldn’t have been as concerned.

The nice part of being located in the safari field is that my Directv satellite dish can find the satellite. I haven’t been able to use it for the last 6 weeks since I’ve been in heavy forest areas. They missed me, I had to reauthorize my receiver to get all the channels.

Tomorrow I’ll resume the commute to New Hampshire. I got the market analysis from the real estate agent I met with yesterday. It was more positive than I expected and opens up some interesting possibilities.
