Wednesday April 23…10:30pm
Puttered around Sherman this morning. I had bought some different polish and wax to try on different areas of the finish. It’s such a huge vehicle to polish though, so I’m only going to do a small section at a time. But if I do a little bit every day, it’ll slowly all get done.

Alex's birthday
Tuesday April 22…11:30pm
Alex’s 20th birthday today, so we did some shopping this morning. Got him a digital camera. He had borrowed one from a friend for his Florida trip, so we figured he would like one, and we knew it was something he wouldn’t buy on his own.

Watertown (day 3)
Monday April 21…11:30pm
A very restful day today. We took Whiskey for a long walk at Thompson park, which is just around the corner from Alex’s house. They have a zoo there, and a swimming pool and a park for kids, and lots of walking and cycling paths. And, it was yet another beautiful day.

Watertown (day 2)
Sunday April 20…11:30pm
My Mom and Dad came down to Watertown to visit for the day and watch Alex and his team play. Alex ended up not playing the first game, which they lost 7-1. Alex did play the second game, he had two singles and an RBI and they won 6-4.

We’re looking for a dump station to empty Sherman’s holding tanks at some point over the next week or so. Problem is that 95% of the state parks don’t open until mid-May, and the RV parks usually want to charge a ridiculous amount to

What a great spot we had camped out at the base of the ski hill. Nice and quiet. Forgot to take a picture though.

Playing in the snow
Thursday April 17…9:20pm
Yes, we played in the snow this evening. We’re parked at the base of the Cazenovia Ski Hill, and when we hiked up to the top, there were still some patches of snow on the hill. But it was a totally beautiful day…in fact you couldn’t ask for much better.

It was COLD last night. I put our remote thermometer on the outside step overnight, and it went down to -6C (20F). We were nice and toasty, but our electric heater was never shut off all night.

6 months on the road
Tuesday April 15…9:15pm
So we had parked last night at the Walmart at Carlisle Pennsylvania. I got up at about 6:50am and it was chilly…temperature at the bedside was 5C (40F) so I put on the kettle to make coffee and tea, and started getting Sherman ready to move. I pulled back the front curtains and saw a small brown envelope on the windshield and I could read “Carlisle Police Dept” on the front of it.

Got up at 7am and drove to a nearby spot where we could get internet access. It’s starting to get cold in the morning…temperature at the bedside was 8C (46F) when we woke up. So it’s good to drive a little first thing…it warms up Sherman, and then we have our coffee and breakfast without having to put the furnace on.

Greenbelt Park, Maryland (day 3)
Sunday Apr 13…10:00pm
Walked down to the subway station again this morning. Walking quickly, it took about 25 minutes. We took the train to a different area this time, a few minutes walk from the Capitol building. This is Washington’s version of the Parliament buildings in Ottawa. And, as in Ottawa, it’s very impressive looking, although on the east side of the building they are building a visitors center, and the construction kind of takes away from it all.

Saturday Apr 12…7:00pm
We had a big thunderstorm shortly after going to bed last night. And some gusts of wind…the guy near us had his satellite internet dish blow over. Sometimes we miss tent camping, but when it’s raining and windy it sure is nice to be in a motorhome!

I slept with no problems last night, but Ruth said she heard the traffic a fair bit. Either way, we were up at 7am, and on the road pretty much right away. We stopped at around 9am for breakfast and internet. Our goal was still to get to Greenbelt Park outside of Washington, and because we travel on the side roads, we don’t make very good time.

Left Kinston this morning at about 8:30am, and sure enough, there wasn’t anybody around to collect our money. Funny system….we would have been only too happy to pay, but they don’t even provide a box or some system of paying when you arrive or leave after hours. Oh well.

Sitting having breakfast this morning, and I’m looking out the window at the new water hose the guy across the way had given us…and it’s leaking! At the same spot the last one was! As I sat drinking my coffee and wondering how it could
