USA

USA. We are in the Village Green campground in Brimfield Massachusetts. After trying unsuccessfully to spell the name of this state I now understand why abbreviations are so prevalent from now I on I will refer to it as MA :-)

We camped in Newport our first night. Then we started our journey south using the notes and information that we had gathered along the way. The next day we got as far as Freeport where our Tomtom let us down and we ended up on a dead end street where Jack had some unkind words for him. Freeport is a pretty little town that is crawling with tourists. It is where LL Bean store originates. There are Guci, Gap. etc. type of stores. The McDonalds looks like a 18th century farmhouse. We drove around for a while trying to find the campsite where we paid $10.00-$15.00 more per night then we have been paying…. and the internet didn’t work… and this was our first night of hard frost

The next day we drove down the I95 awhile and then onto the 495 then onto the 84 then on to the 95 again. There were toll’s along the way but they only added up to around $6.00. Driving the interstates is a fast way to get somewhere but on the smaller highways you see more interesting things, The fall colours have been amazing. This is a great time of the year to travel as far as natural beauty and not so crowded usually. The only drawback has been that we have to search for campsites that are open.

*Generally we have hit the best weather possible and have missed the major storms.
