We have found our dream house and it is for sale!!
We sadly left all our new friends at Caribou, Maine on Tuesday, Sept 4th. Allan, Katie and I traveled south and caught Hwy 2 across the state of Maine. During part of our trip we had some light drizzle. We spent the night in an RV park close to the Maine, New Hampshire line. During the night it rain hard which caused some concern since we were parked on grass, but when the engine was started it was no trouble pulling out. The ride through New Hampshire was pretty. We did encounter low clouds/fog in a few areas.
Mount Washington was calling our name but we could not make that stop. We saw a coyote crossing the road taking his time. The car in front of us put on his brakes. We slowed down as we passed him on the side of the road. He looked like he was going to cross the road again, but after he saw our big MH, he changed his mind. We also saw two huge wild turkeys ambling down the edge of a field.
At St. Johnsbury, Vermont we turned on Interstate 91 and then traveled Hwy 4 into Rutland. We are staying in an RV park just south of town. We have a beautiful view of the water (swimming pool). We saw the remnants of the flash floods they had here last year.
Most of the bridges and roads have been replaced. This is a house that did not fair well during the storm. This is looking at what used to be a small creek/river that ran along Hwy 4. It took out land, trees and rocks along with roads and bridges.
This does not show the detail as in real life. It looked like you could walk through that opening and the spots you see are butterflies.
We stopped in at Gifford Woods State Park where we worked as camp hosts in 2009. It had not changed much and apparently did not have much damage from the flooding. The only problem they had was no one could get to the park because the roads were washed out.
Our main reason for stopping in Vermont was to see Frank and Pat, special friends we met while working here. We visited their home and saw their new room they added on. Then we went out to eat together. Later that night they came over and saw our MH. We had such a good time visiting with them.
