TS7 Hop 5<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

185 miles via NH 10\/MA 10, I-91, I-84, I-684 (north of New York City), NY 35, NY 100, NY 118, NY 134, NY 129 and US 9A. Cumulative tow miles: 741. Truck miles: 302. Cumulative truck miles: 1125. The extra truck miles were due to a trip to MA for a medical appointment and some shopping around Keene NH. The truck miles would have been over 200 miles greater had my last softball game not been canceled. I was fully prepared to travel 2 hours each way to get that final game in. But it rained all day Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is quite a bit of up-and-down on this route in CT, but the truck handled it well (because I didn’t turn off the overdrive this time). But, once again, the refrigerator did not stay on. I am beginning to wonder if I need to replace the battery in the RV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the trip seemed relatively smooth, there must have been some rough patches. Some of the shelves were pretty jumbled when I got to my destination. And a screen had popped out – a first in my nearly 10 years of travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My three days in NH were at the Ashuelot River Campground<\/a>. This is a small campground on the Ashuelot River with very large, very open sites. Only a few of the sites are pull-throughs but it really doesn’t matter because the back-in sites are so open that no driving skill is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you might expect, this campground is on the Ashuelot River, a small, gentle, meandering stream. Rusty liked the walks along the river. It is a fairly scenic stream. It is probably beautiful in the fall when the leaves turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, my last softball game of the season was rained out. That ended a very disappointing (in terms of both my performance and the team’s) season in a very disappointing summer. I really struggled at the plate. Probably my worst offensive (or most offensive?) season in 40 years. Maybe I am getting old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
