Oct Nov 2012 ME to Bonaire Part 1 of 2


After leaving Campobello Island we headed for Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. A few days later we checked into a timeshare in Killington VT. We spent 8 nights here, hiking and exploring the area. We visited the Billings Farm and Museum near Woodstock. At the Calvin Coolidge SHS we walked though the town where he grew up and toured the preserved buildings. We bought a few things at a craft fair in Rutland. On our way south to York we stopped at the Vermont Country Store, Haines Falls, and Promised Land SP.

We camped near York, at Pinchot SP for a few days, while visiting Pat’s father and Linda and Rick. Later we moved to the Patapsco SP so we could visit our doctors, friends and my family. We were fortunate to have enough time to see all almost all of our friends in the area. When Hurricane Sandy came, we relocated to Cherry Hill Campground, where there were no large trees to fall on our RV. Other than the RV rocking with the high winds, we had no other problems with the storm. We celebrated my father’s 90th birthday with my family before heading to Bonaire. Pat’s extended family got together for her father’s 85th birthday.
PS
Remember when we had a battery problem while in New Brunswick? Well after sending a letter to Ford, we got a full reimbursement for the battery. (The next time you have a problem with a vendor, say "I'm retired and have all the time in the world to fight this")
