Total of 21 states camped in & Scotland visit



Another milestone. Last night Sprinty spent the night at Aqualand Marina and RV Park in Newburg, MD. The RV Park was pretty basic - so glad they just charged us for a tent site. And we were under the trees in the shade. And located next to the Maryland Dept of Transportation that had guest WiFi we could connect to.



The big significance was that last night was the first night we have camped in the state of Maryland, despite Sprinty having made several trips to Maryland, and spent over 4 months in Maryland.



The Maryland sticker joined the 20 other state stickers on the map, for a total of 21 states camped in.


In our travels today (which included another golf course), Sprinty traveled to Scotland. Yup - Scotland, as in Scotland, MD

Sunday, 28 August After several clear days without smoke/haze, the smoke is back. As we headed north from Moab at 7am, the sun looked like a red ball in the sky - very different from the sunrise we watched two days ago. Today's itinerary was repositioning to Vernal, UT, about 230 miles north. The recommended route was to remain in Utah and take US 191. Our Wagonmaster said not to take the route through Colorado as the roads were worse. A quick check of the recommended route saw that it went through Helper, UT, home of the Carbon Country Club Golf Course. Conveniently located about 2 hours from Moab and 2 hours from Vernal. By leaving Moab at 7am, we arrived early at the golf course and were able to take advantage of a cancellation to start earlier than our scheduled tee time. The course was nice and in good condition. We both had a mix of good hits and ones we wished we could do over. Darrell managed to lead at the turn. Kris played the back nine better, but...

Trying to plan today last night was loose at best as all the weather apps we use indicated 40% chance of rain, or higher.  Both where we played golf yesterday, as well as where we were headed.  There seemed to be a dip in the rain likelihood between 9am and noon around Starke, FL as well as warmer temperatures forecast, so we decided to get an early start and drive the 2 hours down to Starke, FL, where there were two different 9-hole courses to select from. Woke up to 55 degrees in Waycross and were on the road about 7:30.  We plugged in directions for the closer of the two courses which had slightly better reviews figuring that if it was closed or crowded, we could wander over to the other course.  We enjoyed 4-lane roads (65mph speed limit) till we got to the Florida border, as well as temperatures climbing as we went further south.  On the way down, Kris checked for a Starbucks near Starke, FL, and found there weren’t any. ...

Ridgway-Ourey-Silverton-Telluride, CO - STR-2021-15

Sunday, 4 July Not very long after getting Sprinty settled in the Pa—Co-Chu-Puk campground, we got a text from Tom saying they were settled in their campsite in the Elk Ridge Campground. We broke camp to drive to one of the three other campground loops at Ridgway State Park to plan the week. Tom offered to drive their truck if Darrell would plan the week. After sharing ideas and reviewing what was open, when, we came up with a plan for each of the next four days. Monday, 5 July - Silverton As Sprinty is sleeping in four different places in five nights, he had to vacate his site while his humans went off adventuring with Tom and Heidi.   The plan was to park Sprinty in the state park marina as checkin for Sprinty's next site was not until afternoon. Tom and Heidi were going to pick us up there in their truck at 8:30 for a day of adventuring. All set, we started off for Silverton, CO. For about 200 feet. Tom and Heidi's Ford F-150 had the AdvanceTrac li...
