Well here we are back in Mass. This time in Salisbury, about a mile from the beach. Really small RV park, and everyone is packed in pretty tight, but we wanted to be within close range of Exeter, Salem and Gloucester. May take a day train to Boston, but mostly just short day trips if we have to leave poor little Elvis in the RV. He's so pitiful. We "doggy-cammed" him with our video recorder a while ago, and as soon as we leave, he gets down on the step and waits for us. Must be uncomfortable for him. He DOES have the option of sleeping on one of two sofas, his bed, or the recliners, but he just waits by the door..................
Oh well, on to our day trip. It was really gloomy so we didn't want to do the beach and we decided to head south to Gloucester. I always thought it was just a sleepy little fishing town, but oh my God, it is absolutely stunning! The homes surrounding the harbor are incredible. Anyway, we drove the entire bay and then hiked up the trail to take the lighthouse pics.
Then, 22 miles further south to Salem. I felt sooooooooo at home there, I just don't know why. LOL! Steve understands why.
It is another great old town. We didn't know the House of the Seven Gables was there, so we took the pics and did a "self guided" walking tour of Salem. In other words, a freebie. These tourist places are really pricey.
So, just a few more days in New England and we are off to Lake Erie, then over to Cleveland to see the RV Hall of Fame (yes, there is one), then the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
We have really really loved the New England country. I keep saying I could really live here, as soon as someone does something about the awful winter weather. I won't hold my breath. But I would live in Gloucester, on the harbor. Just waiting for that Mega Millions ticket to pay off.
Please look at the slideshow below. Think we got some good snaps. We are already beginning to plan our trip back home, in early to mid October. We won't be coming back the coast however, kind of zigzag down from South Dakota. Hope to see Jim's mom in Kentucky. We just want to see some leaves turn and then come back to Jax and take care of a bunch of stuff during the winter there.
Hope everyone is well and you are not too hot in Jax! Yeah, right. My mom and sister says it's been raining almost every day. Good thing we got that townhouse watertight this past winter.
All for now, take care!!!
Kathy, Steve, and Elvis (the King)
