OT-this pesky tour now west bound
june 19 jacksonville, FL
20 Savannah, GA
21-25 Myrtle Beach, SC
25-27 Raleigh, NC
27 to July 1 Glen Allen, VA
1 - 6 Around DC, right now millersville is the only reasonably priced place I find
OK, first hurdle, put us somewhere for 4th of July. My dad's family is from this area, not that I can find any of them, but my personal history plus US history and we breezed thru in 2008 without my brain attached.
And this area is FULL of some of my fave ppl in the WLS world
OK, so moving on to night of July 6, guide me:
08 we stayed in Clarksboro, NJ and met ppl from both PA and NJ, tho I can't remember exactly where that was, except i know NJ has no left turns and it took us over an hour to get to the restaurant because we could see it but not get turn into it. Of course, might be that crazy Elizabeth N moving it about so she could watch the big black truck cruising back 'n forth. LOL
then to Florida NY, which is as close as I could find to get RV to NYC. Don asked me if I wanted to go INTO NYC. Since truck 'n fifth wheel could potentially be in two different black, no. Prius, sure. LOL Park away, take truck to town? <shudder> that truck is 3 Priuii long. Possibly leave truck, take public trans to NYC and I'm thinking, but why? Both of us have been there before, very young, but all that citiness scares me. Montana, in contract, does not scare me.
Then, if we continue due north, his family is in Albany area. So, in 08, we did lunch and that was OH SO WRONG, so we must allow a full day there.
Then, my brain splits. We want to touch the whole NE corner.
Ideas?

I'm further No., now and when I look at where we're trying to go, and then I bring up a map of campgrounds, i swear they all scurry away from our target! LOL
we kinda want to go along 95 up the coast, but all CT ones are NOT on the coast. LOL

BUT and this is big. I've never found an rv park near it.
my friend has 3 acres, but it's a tight fit to get in. She can stick us in a corner, but the getting there.... and we suck all the electric out of her house! LOL
i love staying there (Roselle), her yard is like a park, she has cats, door is open, wander in, help myself. When I stay with friends and can use real washers and dryers vs my mini ones, I wash the big things, like bedspreads and all.
So, see if you can make an RV park appear and that will help me.
I'm at the line of MA and ME right now. LOL

yes, it IS spendy. we have clubs to cut the price, but there are so many restrictions to get the price down that I just skipped it.
Restrictions: no stays on days that end with "day"; on days when it rains or the sun is out; no pets except on days that end in X........ you get the drift.
I don't want to work that hard. When I tried to book there in 2008, I talked to them on the phone, since it was closest to our destination. Wow, they treated me like po' white trash from the "other" Washington.
Kinda put me off it, KWIM?

Now, if you want a National Park, there's Greenbelt National Park, but I don't think there's electricity or water hookups. http://www.nps.gov/gree/planyourvisit/campgroundreservations .htm - normally they have hours where generators are allowed to run.
I'm looking forward to meeting you in Fairfax!!

PS I think your tour is going East bound!! LOL
I know, more east before we turn west. LOL
I wanted to touch some 1700's history, just a bit. I mean, nobody found here until Lewis and Clark bumped up against the Pacific in 1805, right?
So, leaving there 7/6
Clarksboro NJ that eve.
7/7 Clinton CT
7/8 Salisbury MA
7/9-11 Augusta, ME (7/9 is our anniversary, so I try to allot some time
7/11-13 Sturbridge MA
7/13 Schenectady NY via Albany (Don's family)
7/14 Rochester NY
7/15 Erie PA
We were asked to all major cities and we can do that if we know NOW. But we only have one POC (Cin), so then we take the shortest route. So, if we are stopping between, scream now. We will pick up from here Tuesday
Several ppl asked us about cities in OH and IN, but we need POC or we go straight to Chicago, as best as I can tell. We route via the POC.
