Mike In Oregon, veterans with a service connected disability are eligible for free entrance and camping at State Parks, additionally we can have one vehicle license that is permanent. The one time fee for the license is $100. Ours is on our Ollie, as RVs are more expensive to title and register.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted September 15 Author Moderators Share Posted September 15 We’ve been traveling from south Texas to Tennessee and arrived in the Memphis area this afternoon. We’re at a military campground on Midsouth Naval Base just north of Memphis. It’s small, but somehow there’s an Oliver parked right next to us. The spot we are in was occupied by another Oliver last night. Small world. Our neighbors just picked up their trailer yesterday, Mike and Barb - Hull 1428. 7 3 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SeaDawg Posted October 1 Moderators Share Posted October 1 @dewdev, are the dahlias still in bloom at Campobello? The cottage was interesting, as was the lighthouse, but the dahlias are my best memory. Great view from your campsite. We stayed on deer pt island, in new brunswick, and took the ferry over. Deer point is really interesting (the maelstrom!)

We were there almost this same week, maybe a week earlier. Some of the dahlias were dinner plate size. I'll never forget that. So very beautiful. The wind at night was cold, but the days were cool and bright, and totally awesome. Wishing you safe travels, and thanks for the memories. Where to next? On that trip (we called it the tides trip) we saw the maelstrom /whirlpool off deer point, the river running backwards at st. John, and the crazy tide at Hopewell rocks. The trip home, with the leaves, was really amazing. We followed the leaf change south. Envying you now.

GraniteStaters Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 We camped at Herring Cove Provincial Park on Campobello in July. What really struck me about the Roosevelt's home was the unpretentiousness of it. It looked like a place anyone could be very comfortable in. I want to go back and walk more of the trails. David really liked the golf course. Paula 4 David Caswell and Paula Saltmarsh Hull 509 "The Swallow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAX Burner Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 So... here we are in Wilcox, AZ wine country attempting to avoid sub-freezing temps in Northern NM. It's 75F here without a hint of wind. Harvest Hosting for a couple nights at Pillsbury Winery near the Chiricahua Mountains and Dos Cabezas Peak. OBTW: the new install of the Victron DC-DC charger is pretty awesome... Above pic shows the proximity to the Vinyard at Sam Pillsbury's ranch. Tough duty, but someone has to do it.
