We finally did it!

We finally retired, got all our "stuff" sorted out and given away, and traveled to our location for the summer. The RV in the foreground of this picture and the truck pulling out are ours. We are located at Bethel Outdoor Adventures in Bethel, Maine, for the next few months.

The campground is on the banks of the Androscoggin river. BOA offers canoe and kayak rentals, guided fishing trips, tubing and a guided tour of an old mine - interesting to all rockhounds.

We are already exploring the area - we can see that this is going to be an exciting place to be. There is so much to do that we don't anticipate being bored at all. We are close to the Appalachian Trail and the White Mountains National Forest. There are so many trails there is no way to hike them all this summer (not to mention that some of them are so tough we are in no shape to tackle them yet!)

Just a note about our intent with this blog: The idea is to share with our friends where we are and what we are doing. It will probably not be updated daily - we'll see how often we can manage it.

Right now the blog is under initial construction so please be patient. We'll post later about our trip up here and what we have been doing since March, 2006.
