The last 2 days have been mostly about driving, and trying to dodge severe thunderstorms and hurricanes. After leaving our campground near Bar Harbor, Maine, we drove along the coast for most of way, before stopping on the outskirts of Boston. Some of the coastal towns, like Camden, Maine, pictured above, are right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. On one stretch in southern Maine, and New Hampshire, we drove on a 50 mile section of toll road, and after passing thru 3 toll booths, those two states are now $15.50 richer. Rather than deal with Boston rush hour traffic, I parked first at a Wal-Mart, but when checking with the security patrol, we moved next door to a Home Depot, which had a lot more room in their parking lot. Much like when we traveled around the country with the N.H.R.A. Drag Race Family, one of our most watched TV stations has been the Weather Channel. With Hurricane Bill due to pass the east coast in a couple of days, and a weather front with severe thunderstorms moving toward us from the west, I decided to get going early, and drive to our next destination, the Thousand Trails (TT) near Hershey, PA. Most of this 2nd day of driving was on freeways, and a lot of it was in the corridor between Boston and New York City. There's lots of traffic, but despite some horror stories told to me by other RV'ers, these freeways aren't much different than any others. We did pass by one horrible accident where an SUV pulling a travel trailer had overturned in the median, and there were 3 ambulances either there or passed us en route to the accident scene. We made it to a very nice TT just outside Hershey, PA, and we will be here for the next 2 weeks. Our refrigerator is acting up again, so that will be one of the priorities while we are here. Hopefully, there is a good Dometic service business in the area.
