Back before we had global warming and May was known as a warm month, we used to say, "Hooray, Hooray, it's the 1st of May, outdoor screwing starts today!"  We have been back for two weeks or more from the South and we have yet to experience a warm day. what the hell is going on!,We have already decided, next year we are going to Florida for March ,April and May, returning in June in hopes of warm weather where you can sit outside! We have not had one day since we returned where it was comfortable to sit on the deck, damn! First week of March 2015, we are dropping our income tax in the mail and driving South, fast!

Stayed in Calais for a night, too tired to even cross the border, then spent a day in high wind and rains making our way to Amherst, NS, we relaxed for three wonderful days at Karens, Pauls daughter, on Friday we made our way to Chester, all in all a great trip, but as for Sunny days, probably less than a month out of our three month trip was Sunny, we had lots of weather, cold and otherwise, but we weathered it and will now start to recall the great people and places we met and seen.  Thanks for following us!
Found a year round RV Park as we left Pennsylvania, in New York, Conn. and Vermont and slept in a motel in Bennington, Vt. Through New Hampshire and slept in a Wal-Mart in Biddeford Maine.  That morning made a quick decision to travel the I-95, we never go near Interstates, we soon learned why, it's highway robbery, we turned left to go on the 95 in Biddeford, and were faced by a toll booth, only a dollar so we went, we were going to get off in Gray, Maine, decided to go a little further, another toll booth, this time 2.75 cents, 8 miles before we got to Augusta, we hit another toll booth, another 1.75, there were absolutely no warning signs to make you aware of toll booths, that's why we call it highway robbery, we are not used to tolls, but here in Nova Scotia, you get plenty of warning that a toll booth is ahead! Apoligys to our Maine friends, but we do want to thank you for the winter jacket Marge, Trish sure used it on the way home.

Last night was the first time we were asked to leave a Wal-Mart parking lot, the security guy explained, Wal-Mart only leased the land and the property owners wanted no overnight vehicles, he was very nice and showed us an even better place to sleep behind a Giant Tiger.  He had been to B.C. bear hunting ,so we had a great discussion. Talking about bears, the visitor center here in Pennsylvania has a mounted black
bear shot in 1993, 701 pounds, what a giant, at first I thought it was a Grizzly!
I looked over today and seen Trish crying, I asked what was wrong, she pointed to the snow piles left from ploughing, tomorrow we expect worse, some actual snow on the ground maybe as we approach Vermont? 
It's a Junk Yard but we had FREE electricity !

Elvis's birthplace in Tupelo, Mississippi.

This was even a little before Paul's time !
