come up to the Adirondacks.. See it every cloudless night

Take a route through ny's adirondacks. Stop by the Adirondack museum in Blue Mountain Lake, visit the Sagamore estate nearby, take a couple of day hikes. Visit Lake Placid, take a gondola up Whiteface. Ausable Chasm is a must. So much to do 6 million acres of forever wild

We stayed at Yellowstone's Edge a short drive to the Norther entrance and just outside of Gardiner.. I highly recommend it. Here is the link http://www.mtrv.com/

I would take the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnel, Stop for a day or so at Assateague national seashore and visit the wild ponies http://www.nps.gov/asis/planyourvisit/marylandcamping.htm

No easy way around The Baltimore/DC area. I do it often. Just take your time, put a little Sinatra on and you'll get there.

I would plan on the first week of October, The Schroon Lake area is the place to be. Great location and easy to hit all areas of the Adirondacks from. Several nice campgrounds to pick from as well.

When I had my heart attack I had no chest pain, had pain in my shoulders. Unfortunately, I ignored those pains until it was too late and I found myself on the Ocracoke ferry  when the pain really hit me. Had a very long ride to Nags Head hospital followed by a medivac to Virginia Beach, leaving...

Last year we stayed in Rapid City, saw everything mentioned above as well as Mammoth excavation site and Wind Cave.. Enjoy your trip

I have a wet bath in my r-pod.. shower curtain covers the toilet, usually have a spare towel on hand to wipe everything down anyway. Put the exhaust fan on and things dry pretty quickly. Love the compact design and lightweight. Longest trip 25 days-- we managed just fine.

Yellowstone can wait.. Get healthy first. I had one of those copter rides in the outer banks when I had my heart attack 3 years ago. Not fun for the DW  to see me whisked off in the middle of the night. Take care and best wishes

Try driving on the Cross Bronx Expressway! I have to do it on every trip south or west.

The Maine Diner was great, Their seafood chowder the best. Down the road we also stopped at Captain Hook's Lobster shack Ya gotta love Maine https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/561082_3987879767680_276824908_n.jpg

Can you shove steel wool into the tight areas? They can't chew through that.

My Village came down on me because they received an anonymous complaint. All my neighbors have no problem with my small trailer in my driveway. The Village gave me until October to find a new home for it. Problem is, storage places on LI wants $150/month. Thinking about challenging the Village...

Thanks, we'll definitely check out the Diner. We are staying at Hemlock Grove campground nice quiet clean place http://hemlockgrovecampground.com/ Was up to Freeport today, spending tomorrow at the beach
