It is never easy to say good-by to a parent but today I lost my father.
Thanksgiving in Plimouth 2008 with our Airstreaam friends. We have the tent all set up and turkeys started cooking this morning. We decided to try something different, cooking our turkey in a garbage can.
Place the garbage can over the turkey, place white coals on top of the can and all around the bottom edge. They say cook eight minutes per pound. We will get back to you all later on how it worked out.
Another great time with our Airstream family camping at Winter Island in Salem, MA. 
Some of us had a better time than others but all want to do it again next year. We had all sorts of fun and a really good time just being together.
Traveling around in the fall is always a wonderful experience each year. Part of the fun is not knowing where you are going or when you are goin to get there. You suddenly find yourself really enjoying the simplist of things.
And of course you never know what you will find when you get there. Almost Twilight Zone, in the middle of no where passenger cars from the long ago Connecticut Valley Rail System. These cars were in really great shape and perhaps someday they will find themselves back in service.
I had often thought wouldn't it be really cool to refurbish one of these old cars into an apartment on wheels complete with a kitchen, bath and living area and just piggy-back your way around the country. They certainly are big enough.
Fall produce is always great, green tomatos, pumpkind, squash and such. Just a wonderful time of year to fill the cellar for the coming winter months.
This is one very serious pumpkin cannon. The barrel is over thirty feet long and it's powered by two 500 gallon air tanks!
Good farm stands are easy to find the further away from cities you get.
A rare photo of Sandi and I together. Not that we are never apart, it's just we never set one of the cameras up to take a timed photo.
Part of our original plan was to get to Rhinebeck Aeridrome which we did. It has been fifteen years or so since my last visit and nothing had really changed all that much.
The old planes were still flying and the Black Barron and Sir Percy will still at it fighting over Trudy True-Love, dropping bombs on each other and getting a little dog-fighting in.
One change was that they now have two 1949 Specials flying so plenty of folks were able to take to the skies for a ten minute flight.
Standing along the flight line, many of the same planes were on static display. They still have the original 1920's cars and did get a few of the early replica aircraft up in the air which still sport the original motors.
Sandi and I headed up to Great East Lake this past weekend and camped at Lake Forest where we were married last June. Anytime in Wakefield is wonderfull but the autumn is even more so. We went up just the two of us and were hoping to get in some canoe time but the lake was roaring.
It is always amazing how clear the water is in the lake. We had temps in the mid 50's during the day and quite chilly at night. Dave left us a supply of firewood for Saturday night and we had a nice dinner of chicken on the grill along with some very nice vegetable bread we found at the local grocery shop. Wakefield is a great little town and we do mean little. No Burger King, Wal-Mart or Home Depot. A perfect New England Town.
It was a nice afternoon to sit by the lake but not be on it. We were looking forward to exploring it but we will always have next year.
Ahh, a photo of me, getting ready to break camp and head home. Sandi and I have it down to pretty much a science of getting everything ready for the road.
No we didn't buy another camper! I had to post this one for my cousin Andre' since he is looking for a new project we thought this would be perfect for him.
What a great day for a ball game! The sun is shinning, the fans are great and it is my first visit to Fenway Park. Sandi was here once many years ago and we have finally made it together.
With two major teams tearing down their parks for new ones it's great to know that Fenway will be around for a long time. It is truely a classic!
On game day Yawkey Way become a street for fans and shops.
We had pretty good seats over in section 3 in the shade.
Nothing like Red Sox fans! Not a seat empty and everyone supporting their team and so polite unlike fans at some other park we had gone to in NYC. And I ain't talking the Mets.
Mr. Ortiz at bat! What a wonderful day at Fenway Park. Sad to say Boston did loss this day but there is nothing better than a Fenway Frank and a beer on a Sunday afternoon.
The Green Monster Lives! Riding around the back track.
Yes it is low tide. All the boats in the harbor rest on the harbor bottom during low tide with carefully placed braces hanging over the sides of the ship where in normal waters you would hang bumpers.
Friday heading to Calis ME. fuel stop. It is always great seeing more than one Airstream traveling together. A nice sunny day just perfect for seven hours drive time.
Well so much for the perfect trip. After traveling over 13,000 over three years we finally had our first tire failure. Not too bad but something we could do without.
We were really lucky with this one. The tire completly delaminated while traveling 65 MPH. Lucky? We had no outer skin damage on our Airstream. There is quite a bit of damage in the belly but the running gear is fine along with the sewer connections. 
One of the pleasures of the day was that it wasn't raining, something we are not used to!
Sara grabbed this shot and I just love it. It reminds me of a Space Shuttle shot of a blinp heading into space. 
Sara wasn't too keen on spending the night in a Wal*Mart parking lot but we were joined by another ten RV's for the night in Calis, ME. Hey, it's free!
And the sun sets on a good day of travel despite the tire failure. Tomorrow it's across the border!
