August 12-23, 2016 When we last wrote we were in New Hampshire enjoying the weather, the beautiful scenery, and the wonderful people.

After our time at Escapade we opted to travel to Saint Johnsbury (often called Saint J. by the locals) in Vermont near the New Hampshire border, prior to heading to Maine. We stayed at a private adult only campground with full hookups, great free wi-fi, and cable hook-up. It is kinda interesting to stay at…
