20 July 2020 | Harbor View Campground
Back to fire pit land
I think we have officially entered the “north” when it’s okay to start having fires in the fire pit and roast marshmallows.
19 July 2020 | Harbor View RV Park
More than half way...
We are tucked away in another FREE campground tonight in Colonial Beach, Virginia. This one is called Harbor View and tomorrow we will drive around to discover why. All we can see from here are trees. We will be here for two nights and then onto Pennsylvania. We have been completely apart from people now for 5 days. The parks are really good at doing all the registration, etc. over the phone and internet. Only 9 more to go.
17 July 2020 | The Oaks at Point South
Under the trees
We are in South Carolina in a campground canopied with huge trees. When we bought our trailer the dealer gave us a membership to Thousand Trails. We had no idea what it was and clearly weren't grateful enough at the time. Turns out this membership gives you access to various parks throughout the country [...]
14 July 2020 | Georgia/Florida Border
Escaping Florida
We did it!!!! We escaped Florida. After a lovely visit with Thomas's family we have gone into self isolation for a two week trip from Florida to New Hampshire. We want to arrive ready to hug all the babies! We have plenty of food and plan to only stop for gas along the way.
14 July 2020 | Merritt Island - Marie’s backyard
Visiting Family
We made it to Merritt Island, Fl to visit with Thomas sisters and cousin last Saturday. I was bad because I never got the location posted. Now this morning we are heading out again and beginning the trek north. We have provisioned the trailer so we don't need to shop or stop for anything and we can begin to self isolate today. The northern states are requiring a quarantine for those coming from the south and we figure we can start on the drive up.
Check in
We just finished our evening swim to cool off. We are really going to miss those in this clear clean blue water.
Today we "Checked in". We were apprehensive about the process because we had not done it before... and weren't sure what was involved. But it was so easy. There is a website set up now and an APP for that! CBP ROAM. You can download it from the App Store. We were able to do it all over our smart phone. You fill in the information and provide pictures of your passports (much like depositing a check electronically). Then they process your information while you wait AND initiate a phone chat with you right there. Amazing. After just a few minutes we were cleared in and ready to go.
Loved it.
