   I just got back form a 14 day trip. This is the longest trip I have ever taken with the Pod. I put over 2200 miles on the pod. We left Fredericton, New Brunswick in the afternoon of Aug. 6th. We drove to Houlton Maine and stayed overnight at a campground called "My Brothers Place". This was a great campground. Large grassed campsites and the park was almost empty at the start of the week. We set up and my wife went shopping at the local stores for some things that we needed. 
The next day we headed south to Old Orchard Beach Maine. We stayed at the Old Orchard Beach family campground. This campground was older and crowded and filled mostly with seasonal campers. It was a little like camping in a gravel parking lot. We spent the night down at the beach and my wife went shopping at the tourist shops on the beach.

The next day we drove to the Kittery Maine oulet stores then on through  Massachusetts. We had Dinner at a Cracker Barrel store outside of Boston. This is the Pod parked in their parking lot. We kept on going on into New York and through Albany we did not find a campground we liked before dark so we stayed overnight at a Roadside Rest on I90. 

The next day Thursday we drove to Syracuse NY where my wife did some more shopping (starting to see a theme here)

After shopping we drove to the Watkins Glen International Speedway for the NASCAR weekend. We go every year and camp in the infield.

We were at the track from Thursday to Sunday and took in Grand Am, NASCAR Nationwide, and NASCAR Sprint Cup series races.

On Monday Aug 13 we drove to London Ontario Canada to visit a Friend of my wife's and stayed at the London KOA. On the 14th we Drove to Peterborough Ontario Canada and Stayed at Beavermede Park until Saturday the the 18th This is a wonderful park on a lake in the middle of town. Can you believe that these pictures are in the middle of a city of 75000 people. The only downside is that they do not have onsite sewer hookups so you have to hookup and tow the trailer to the dump site when your tanks are full. For that reason I did not put up the Rdome because I knew I would have to dump before I left. 

On Saturday we left Peterborough and started to home through Quebec and stayed at the KOA in Coteau Du Lac Quebec. We Traveled all day Sunday and got home at 2:30 AM Today. 

Now I need a Vacation from my Vacation.
