Leaving the Shenandoah area I headed north. By skirting the coast I ended up driving through mountain areas I had long heard of. Old sitcoms and movies sometimes featured these areas because of their proximity to the larger cities on the coast. A lot of popular entertainers would perform at venues in the areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campground for the first night was right in heart of the old school Pennsylvania industrial area – very red \ud83d\udd34. Rained pretty hard overnight. I stopped to see my old nemesis Three Mile Island<\/a> on the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second night we stopped in the Pocono area. I remember it being one of the more southerly ski areas on the east coast. Rainy all day. <\/p>\n\n\n

Day three took us through the Catskills of Nork York and the Berkshires in New Hampshire to a campground outside of Springfield Massachusetts. The campground was one of the largest yet with over half the residents being full-timers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Day 4 started clear, cold, and windy for a change. We had a beautiful drive through Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Seemed much hipper \u262e\ufe0f than Pennsylvania – although I have to say I was surprised to see a highway outside of Scranton PA called ‘President Joe Biden Expressway’ \ud83d\ude35\u200d\ud83d\udcab<\/p>\n\n\n

Our last stop found us just over the New Hampshire – Maine border at a nice (and huge) campground on the Salmon Falls River. We got a nice spot near the river and Jake decided to cool off! This campground seemed the largest so far – and mostly deserted at least during the week. These larger campgrounds must be lively during the summer and fall weekends \ud83e\udd73<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next stop will be near the Penobscot River south of Bangor near Acadia National Park. We’ll take a break from all the traveling and stay for 4 nights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
