Glosta and Witches

























Yesterday we drove the 127 up to Gloucester (Glosta) and toured around.  The drive up the coast was really nice and it’s scattered with some cute little towns.  Manchester By The Sea is nice, just too much to write when filling out your address.  

We stopped at a visitor center on the way into town, snagged a sticker, map and some local recommendations.  We stopped at the waterfront park before downtown, this is where the fishermen’s memorial is.  The statue and plaque from the movie Perfect Storm.  We drove through town and out to the east past some amazing shoreline and properties.  We stopped short of  Rockport and turned back towards town.  

We walked town for a bit and got some coffee.  The Studio in Rocky Neck was recommended for lunch.  The setting was great, but the food and drink was off.  The fish tacos we split were nothing to write home about.  After lunch we rode out to the Eastern Point Lighthouse.  It was closed, but people were still walking the break wall.  There were some awesome houses out there and we may have seen Rob Lowe walking in the neighborhood.  At least it could have been an acting double.  

We drove the same way back to Salem and hung out for a bit. We walked the dogs a few times before going into town.  We did a night time walking tour with Bewitched After Dark.  Our tour guide Sarah was a fellow Michigander with a history background.  She did a great job with a large group and gave us an informative, fun two hour walk around town.  We would recommend taking the tour of you are interested in what happened in Salem in 1692 for roughly 13 months.  We got back about 9:30 and the kids behaved while we were out.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
