After Burlington, we stayed at Big Bone Lick State Park for three nights. While there, we visited Lexington, KY and did a mini pub crawl. Our next destination was to Red River Gorge in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest.  We stayed at Natural Bridge Campground in Slade, KY and enjoyed three days of amazing hiking.

Killing time in Ohio and Indiana (September 10th through 18th)

While in Ohio, I found out my parents were going to have a booth at the Burlington Antique Show in Kentucky on September 17th. Since that was so close to where we were, we decided to stay in the area to rendezvous with them.  After leaving Deer Creek State Park, we stayed at Valley Vineyard in Morrow, OH.  We were greeted with a glass of champagne, a flight of beer and a private tour of the winery.  This flight with a generous serving of every beer they had cost $10! The next day, we headed west into Indiana, a state that neither of us anticipated visiting.  Kristopher has been wanting to stay at a casino since most of them offer free overnight parking for RVs.  We found Rising Star Casino situated on the Ohio River and decided to give it a shot. We tried our luck at slots, but ended up losing $40.  I thought we could make up for it with free booze, but alas, our bloody mary's weren't free (but they were delicious).  The parking lot was quite noisy throughout th

Ohio Bound (September 4th through 9th)

After fleeing Somerset Airfield, we headed west and ended up outside Binghamton, NY were we spent two nights at Chenango State Park. We are meeting some old friends of mine in Grove City, OH (outside Columbus) on Friday, so we had a series of jumps to break up the nine hour drive.  After setting up camp, Kristopher, Lambeau and I drove to Binghamton for drinks and dinner.  Since it was Labor Day, most places were closed, but we had drinks at Belmar and Indian food from Taj Tandoor.  We both ate way too much food, so we went for a walk in what we thought was downtown Binghamton.  Turns out it was the rougher part of town, but we left unscathed. One of our first stops on the trip was an organic dairy farm where we purchased grass-fed beef.  Their products were so amazing and well-priced, we wanted to restock our freezer. Since rain was in the forecast all day Tuesday, we drove an hour to Groton, New York.  If you can't tell, the lens on Kristopher's iPhone broke, leaving me

New Hampshire and Vermont (August 18th through September 4th)

Apologies for the lack of updates; we have been out of cell phone and wifi service for almost two weeks. In that time, we have visited the following towns: Lincoln, NH; Newport, NH; Lake Sunapee, NH; Barre, VT; Montpelier, VT; Burlington, VT; Brattleboro, VT; Wilmington, VT and Bennington, VT. After two weeks and so many memories, my mind is blank while scrolling through the photos. I will do my best to remember the last several days. After leaving White Mountain National Forest, we drove an hour south to Lincoln, NH and stayed at Country Bumpkins RV Park.  We only stayed two nights, and since it rained most of our stay, we used this stop for laundry, errands and catching up on TV.  Our next stop was The Crow's Nest RV Park in Newport, NH to see Kristopher's friends he met while living in St. Croix.  Before having dinner with them Sunday evening, Kristopher took me to Steven Tyler's house on Lake Sunapee. To my disappointment, he wasn't home. Sometime during
