Off to the Races!
It’s Friday and we’re spending the weekend at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Virginia. We left late Wednesday afternoon and headed down here. It was quite an interesting journey down here – mostly all in the rain, with an overnight for a few hours at the local WalMart. More to come later after the day’s … Continue reading
Politically Correct Recreation
We saw this at a rest area on the NJ Turnpike yesterday. Made me laugh as it’s pretty much the polar opposite of our recreation vehicle … I guess you could say this would be Politically Correct Recreation I think that if you turned the sailboat upside down, it would have nearly the same profile … Continue reading
Our Hurricane Irene Damage
Well we made it through Irene relatively unscathed, although many of our other town residents that are not as highly elevated as us didn’t fare nearly as well. There is a fair amount of flooding in our town. As to be expected, we have a few downed trees in the yard, but nothing to the … Continue reading
Tracking Hurricane Irene
In between preparing for Hurricane Irene, I’ve been doing a lot of tracking using http://crisislanding.appspot.com/. Over the last 24 hours we’ve been in and out of the direct track a few times. To me, it looks like the eye is bouncing East and West over about a 40 mile section between the outer edges. Last … Continue reading
Time to Batten Down Everything!
We’ve been home for a week or so, and YES I am behind on a number of posts that are still in draft mode from the last leg of our trip, but after tracking Hurricane Irene for the last few days, I am glad that we’re here at home base to “batten down the hatches”. … Continue reading

We’ve been talking about … Continue reading
Dinner with Friends
It turns out that there are a few people following our Journey, or at least our Facebook wall posts … yeah! As we announced that we were pointed towards Lake George last week, I received a message from a High School friend inviting Maureen, I *and* the dogs to dinner while we’re in the area. … Continue reading
Canoeing, Exploring, Fun at Lake George Escapes and Farting in Your General Direction
We’ve been here at Lake George Escapes for the better part of a week and we’ve really been enjoying our stay. We haven’t gone out and done much of the “touristy” stuff yet,but we’re still here for another 3 1/2 days – so we still have some time for that. We haven’t been here before, … Continue reading
Not sure if this means Naughty or Nice List
Santa Claus stopped by our campsite today while I was on the roof checking out a leak that showed up in yesterdays torrential rains. He pulled up to the site in his golf cart and asked me if I was washing the roof. I wasn’t, as I know that will definitely get me on the … Continue reading
First Day at Lake George Escapes
Monday, our first full day at Lake George, we woke up to rain. It seems that there is a rain cell that will be lingering around for a few days, although the end of the weeks looks like it will have beautiful weather. We’ll be here for the week, so I’m hoping that we’ll have … Continue reading
