US tour - eastern states 2015 - R-pod Owners Forum

Ok, she posted the only pic of me in my blue poncho. Camped last night in the boonies of upstate NY, today we did the Ben & Jerry's tour and are staying at a Wal-Mart near the White Mountains.

There's a KOA nearby, two downsides though. A fairly busy road on one side of the campground, and an active rail line on the other. Trains maybe every 1-2 hours. Not horrible especially with a hardside camper as long as you are camped by the road (opposite side from the trains). I've experienced worse at the campground owned by Hershey - that one they couldn't pay me to stay at again. I would camp at this KOA again if necessary but I would explore other options. Great staff, everyone we met was truly happy and helpful.

Ha! Yeah pics have been scarce on the blog since internet access has been either very bad or non-existent at many of our stops. I'm only barely online tonight. I'll tell her you are looking for the stockade pic! Good time at Williamsburg, we were there from open to close.

Then a night at home (laundry, oil change, resupply the camper, nice long hot showers), then on to a state park near Steamtown, then a day at Steamtown including a train ride and museum tour. On to a state park near Niagara (4 Mile Creek, I would come here again) and a full day around the falls today.

Where did you stay in Williamsburg Doug? Are you gonna share with us the picture of you in the stockade?

Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks!

Uneventful today, just slept in and drove to Carolina Beach State Park, we are hanging around a campfire right now. Fridge temp is still good. Final solution was to pull as much of the wire into the fridge then get the tip where the sensor is as high as possible. Temps in the 30s since yesterday, yay!

So far the Gorilla tape is holding. Hope it is keeping the water out, we hit some big downpours again today.

	Doug, Watch out for the Ben and Jerry's. Rumor has it, that it can be addicting

	Had a great time touring the USS North Carolina, that was really interesting, and then we made our way to Williamsburg. Had a lazy day today, a little pool time and getting supplies. Tomorrow we'll tour Williamsburg.
