Greetings from Maine – home to the most easterly point in the United States (we will be there on Saturday) – and Acadia National Park, the Rockefellers’ gift to the United States. We left on Monday and have traveled less than 400 miles. Taking it slow and enjoying the trip.
Many of you have asked that I send info and pictures or post on Facebook, etc. so that you can enjoy our travels. I've decided this is an easier way to do it – via a blog. Several of you don't Facebook, and sending a lengthy, large e-mail would just jam up your mailbox, so blogging seemed like the best solution. That way, you can go in and read at your leisure. Please bear with me – this is my first attempt at blogging.
Sorry – had had to pause writing and go make coffee.
So “Notes from the road” (greetingsfromgoldie.blogspot.com) is about our travels in Golda (or “Goldie” – she answers to both) our 2008 Roadtrek 190 Popular home (see www.roadtrek.com for specifications). Here's a couple of pictures for those of you who don't know what she looks like:
See our new “home addition” – a
lovely screened porch from which we can enjoy dining al fresco without too many
local winged wildlife infringing on our meal.
This 2nd picture is just to give you a sense of scale. Golda is SMALL in comparison to many of the RV's we see on the road and in campgrounds. But we find we have enough space for everything we really need, as long as we do laundry weekly and eat sensibly. Golda’s interior makes most tiny homes look HUGE by comparison! Our bricks-and-sticks home has not sold. Due to where we live in New Hampshire, it takes some time for property to move (yes, dad – location, location, location). But since we have boxed, sold, donated, or otherwise purged as much as we can for now, it was time to try out living tiny. Thus, we have hit the road for the wilds of Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. We’ll be on-the-road for approximately four weeks before heading back to Walker Hill. Doctors’ appointments and such.
So – if you care to join us in our updated-as-we-can adventure, please subscribe to this blog. That way you’ll get notifications when there is another posting. Just go to “greetingsfromgoldie.blogspot.com”. I think there’s a spot where you can ask for updates to be sent to your e-mail. That notification should include a link.
Enough for now – enjoy the journey…Dona and Rick (formerly known as Fred)
