Sept. 30-Oct 1

This trip’s experiment is to see how we fare three nights in parking lots. The hope being that we can save lots of money traveling next year with 2-3 nights in a parking lot and 1-2 (or more if the place is awesome) in a state park campground.

First night- Cooks Corner Walmart so we can hit LL Bean and Corning in the morning. Not bad, but kind of street noisy. Second night- Cabelas in Scarborough-

Sweet- just buy something in their store and dump for free! There are 80+ Cabelas across North America, although Bass Pro Shops just bought them out. Drawback- truckers like Cabelas too and a reefer truck parked two spaces over…

 

Third night- Walmart in Auburn; fairly quiet. Other advantages- groceries and supplies right there, high speed internet for free, and usually nearby places to walk.

Floor Side note- see pic:

To get the floor repaired Lee’s RV coerced a small female member of the office staff to slide into that little tiny opening and replace the dozen or so screws that had fallen out of the floor support. Yes, this was a warranty issue! And yes, Clare brought her flowers!
