Fred's Big Adventure

We went to Luray Caverns. It was a pretty cool place… lots of stalactites (hang from ceiling) and stalagmites (grow up from floor) in various formations. I took some photos…. After the caverns, we found the multi-use path in Luray and Fred got to go swimming in...

The next part of the trip took us driving Skyline Drive, a scenic byway that travels through Shenandoah National Park. The scenery is beautiful. I stopped and took a few photos. A stop at the visitors center got us a good hike to take to Hawksbill Summit, using the...

Monticello is located in Charlottesville. We spent a whole morning there. The grounds are open to dogs so Fred and I walked the grounds and took one of the tours. There’s a half mile path that leads from the Visitors Center to the house. Along the way, is the...

I originally traveled to the Ashland, VA area so I could attend an agility trial hosted by MADCO in Mechanicsville.  When I finished up the Pals & Paws trial in Jacksonville in March, I said it was possible that I would ‘show up at a trial near you.”  Well this...

My next stop was Cherry Hill RV Park in College Park, MD. This is actually one of the top 10 rated campgrounds in the country (or so I’ve heard) and it is easily one of the nicest that I’ve been to yet. Campsites were spread out and the place was gigantic. There is a...

My return trip to Long Island this summer was a lot of fun. I worked, and we worked on the RV, but that still left time for another flight (without Fred this time), visiting with friends and lots of relaxing. Among the people that I got to see this trip were Annie,...

As mentioned in an earlier post, the RV underwent some upgrades while docked in Setauket. Arguably the best upgrade is the retractable shower door. Gone is the too long shower hogging shower curtain, replaced with a retractable shower door by Nautilus which actually...
