Tomatoes were to die for and the corn wow. Herman Herman in season, we will go for a drive over to NJ for the roadside stands. From home it’s about an hour one way but worth the trip!

wayne77590 Report post Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks all for the information sights to see and places to go. Once we start planning we just might be able to get to some of them. Can't wait for school to start back up and CG's have more room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted June 25, 2019 Wayne, depends on where you travel. We did Woodstock, NY & Lake Placid, NY, from 6/11 to 6/18 & had no problem getting a pull thru. Other than North Little Rock RV Park, AK and Four Seasons RV Resort in NJ..we staid in KOA's from Texas to Quebec, Canada...would do them again! We are now in Riviere-Du-Loup, Canada. 🤗 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne77590 Report post Posted June 26, 2019 We find places but sometimes it takes a few calls. We like KOA, even though they are a little more expensive and we are KOA Members so 10% discount. What we like is the on-line reservations system. Log in, check the campground, click book - done deal. You travel in better circles than we do. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted June 26, 2019 Yes, Du-Quai & now we are in Annie Campground, Metis Sur Mer...Went to Redford Gardens..very nice for Linda, ok for me! Tomorrow, we are headed to Forillion NP, Petit Gaspe Campground for 2 days of dry camping! The weather is not getting warmer any time soon...high 60/50, low 50/40. Sat is Camping Du Phare, Perce for 3 days! July 16, we will be in Labrador! 🤗 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted June 27, 2019 Wayne, we stayed a several KOAs this trip. If you say the name in french it sounded better. Like, Buffalo / I-40 / Sortie 143 KOA Journey. Well maybe not. Carl is geting a refresher course in French. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 Well I got my confirmation on where we will stay before going into Minot. We will be at Fort Stevenson State Park. It is about 45 miles from Minot. We plan on leaving here on or about the 23 of July. Going to Amarillo, then Raton Pass with a side trip to Philmont then to The Rocky Mountin National park then wander towards Minot. After that West.

dbenoit Report post Posted July 25, 2019 Anyone camp on Antigua? Now that I got the RV related thing out of the way..... Looking to go to an all inclusive resort, Pineapple Resort in Antigua. We have never been to that island and looking for any comments about the island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianbullock Report post Posted July 25, 2019 We've been to many of the Caribbean islands (19) but not Antigua. I'm guessing that its probably as nice as the rest! Likely has the usual amenities and features. palm trees, sand, beaches, tiki bars, restaurants, shops. Did I mention tiki bars? Have fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted July 30, 2019 Been there many times. Any Hotel or Resort is safe, go roam around, nice people, rent a cab for 6 hours & see it all...avoid cruise ship days & you'll pay $100 instead of $200 for cab! I kept a 42' Lagoons Cat there for 7 years. Take the Ferry to the other Islands, 30 minutes to 90 minutes...pick up info at any tourist info kiosk! Local drink is Rum, OJ, little cream and dash of Nutmeg...one is enough, unless you need a long nap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted July 31, 2019 I like long naps...😵 On my way home from work I saw a small "convoy" of motor homes towing toads going down 95 south in NH. I was going the other direction, funny thing is they were pulling into the rest area that has the NH state liquor store in it....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 1, 2019 Still a popular place to stock up. Been there numerous times. It is a bit far from Texas but hay. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted August 3, 2019 Carl, the one thing I found was the people did in fact speak English but it was in a profound Irish Brogue and really fast. Very hard to understand but nice people. I was stationed there off and on for three years in 1957-58-59. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted August 5, 2019 DB, Ray. Yeah, did the full ceremonial thing...got the sausage, shot of Screech Rum (wish they served it after) & kissed the Cod. Played the big stick and danced, got our certificate! Also, appearance by Mummer's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted August 5, 2019 Sausage__, we got salt-preserved cod, really bad taste, but the rum relieved it somewhat. This happened in a small tavern out in the country, the locals whooped and hollared, then afterwards welcomed us with free(too many) drinks. Of course being a visitor I didn't turn down the free drinks, it would have been insulting IMO 😋; DW had to drive back though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jleamont Report post Posted August 7, 2019 Anchor Down RV resort is beautiful! You can’t beat the views from the sites over looking the lake. We had site 174 with a full size outdoor fireplace.
