What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

We had an interesting visit yesterday to a former silver mining boom town, now under the auspices of the Bureau of Land Management for its preservation and rehabilitation. It was about an hour's drive southwest of our campground. The wind has been fierce while we've been here, and so it seemed like a driving tour was preferable to hiking.

We took off south and eventually turned off the interstate onto New Mexico 152. After a bit, we came to the little town of Hillsboro, New Mexico, and then turned south on New Mexico 27, which is designated a ...

When we first learned of the existence of the National Ranching Heritage Museum, it seemed moderately interesting. For sure it was something to do. Admission is free, so what the heck?

As I believe I mentioned in my previous post, this RV park is also a marina. This is the view from our back window.

The weather was warm and sunny yesterday, and we took a drive along Plantation Road to visit Westover. Plantation Road was about 30 minutes from the RV park, and it was a pretty drive.

Yesterday saw us visiting Yorktown, which is the third point of the historic triangle here in Williamsburg, Virginia. This was another place where we got confused, because a mile from the Yorktown operated by the National Park Service (the one we wanted to see) is the Yorktown American Revolution Museum operated by the State of Virginia. It's another "living history" museum, and I'm sure it's worth visiting. We, on the other hand, didn't want to pay yet another hefty admission fee. After inquiring inside, we drove an additional mile down the road to the actual Yorktown ...

We had such a wonderful day yesterday. Colonial Williamsburg is a must-see for anyone visiting the area. The Colonial capital was moved inland to Williamsburg from Jamestown in 1699. Visiting was like returning to the 1770s and reliving the times when our country's future was being debated. We strolled among costumed townfolk as they went about their daily business. A few of the buildings are carefully restored replicas, but most are the original buildings, meticulously maintained.

We started at the visitor center. The price of admission is steep here at $40 each for adults. Children are less, and we ...

Before I tell you about our day in Baltimore, I want to back up just a little and tell you something about the drive into College Park, Maryland, where we are staying for the next several days. As we were leaving French Creek State Park, I looked out the window of the truck and noticed that the leaves were just beginning to change in Pennsylvania. The weather was gorgeous while we were there...sunny and warm.

As I mentioned in my last post, we spent our second day at French Creek State Park sight-seeing in Philadelphia, a little over an hour's drive away. The traffic was pretty typical city traffic...in a word, awful. It was a good day, however, despite the traffic, and we were glad we went.

It's always a trick finding a place to park our pig of a truck. There was on-street metered parking, but no spaces large enough. After driving several blocks, we noticed a public lot, and just a block on, metered parking where we could fit. Mike ...

Hey there! I'm back! Did you miss me? When last we spoke we were headed to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where we switched out our leaky toilet for a new non-leaking one. The kitties took advantage of Mike's lap in the morning...it's a rare day when they'll share a single lap. More accurately, it's rare for Smitty to share a lap with Sadie.
