VideoRay Mini-Reunion

We left the campsite after the best bathhouse shower of the trip – high pressure, hot water, a place to put your stuff, etc. Scott was so enamored with the shower we later learned that he – once more – left his soap in the shower. Luckily he had more in the camper. Ted had…

Meet Cousin Ted, the Clown No, Really, a Real Clown

A restless and mildly stressful night. The refrigerator kept beeping and displaying an E3 code – low voltage. Tom blamed it on poor input voltage, based on flickering lights while on campsite power, but nothing we could think of doing at night solved the problem, so Scott just turned the refrigerator off at 2AM and…

A Different Take on WWII

As we woke up we considered how to spend the day. We knew we wanted to spend as much time as possible with Scott’s Niece Laurel and her husband Kyle, but they had a 2 month old infant – Brooke – and we didn’t want to intrude with too long of a visit. We thought…

Fryeburg Fair

Today we couldn’t see Ev and his fiancée Cassidy until the afternoon, so we decided to check out the Fryeburg Fair – only a half hour or so drive from our campground. Tom had done some research to indicate how big this is – It is Maine’s largest fair, they are open for 8 days…

This Car Climbed Mt Washington

MacGyver to the Rescue

As we awoke and ate breakfast this morning Tom declared “we had the right concept – just inadequate implementation.” What he meant was that if we could find a way to hold the lever up on the tow bar, we could keep it from collapsing and continue to use the existing tow bar until the…

Third Time Is NOT always a Charm

We awoke in our campsite in Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, and our fearless leader Tom scoured the internet for things to do. Seemed that if you did all the right things you could drive your 4 wheel drive vehicle on the sand and see the shore sights. What could go wrong? Well,…

Maritime Themed Museums – Everywhere You Look

There is a persistent myth than figureheads we mostly scantily-clad women, but in reality, figureheads portrayed a wide variety of subjects, including animals, heroic warriors, celebrities and literary figures, and most human likenesses were fully clothed. We woke up and had breakfast in the RV, then headed into Mystic. There are two major attractions in…

Our Second OWGrv Travelling Guest

We left on our New England Fall trip at 12:12 from Tom’s house in Downingtown. Scott had the jeep at his house, so he drove it with his luggage and some food to Tom’s for it to be reunited with Khan (the RV.) After he was 5 miles away from his garage and it’s air…
