Woah… I learned how to add a gallery.

I’ve made my way to Charleston and have found myself of a pretty unpopulated part of Folly Beach in South Carolina’s Low Country.  I suppose for locals it’s a little chilly for the beach but I’m enjoying things none the less.  As well as chasing the Fall, I’ve probably also been chasing the tourist season, which suits me just fine.  Gordy and I just have that much more room to run around.  I’ve taken a few extra days off of the road to collect myself and make plans for the next segment of the trip.  In less than a month I’ll have been to and nearly returned from Norway already.  I guess times keep ticking away no matter where you’re at.

Here’s a little photo update from some of the previous stops.

See you soon!

Plymouth Rock

Cape Cod

P-Town

Well…. It turned out there was some sort of festival going on in Provincetown the night I was there.  I thought I’d share the experience as best as I could.  It actually was a pretty good time and obviously the people seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Buttercup does Boston.

Why not swing by Boston for the World Series….

I had initially decided that driving an RV named Buttercup through any major city may be ill advised… I haven’t however always been known as one to heed the advise of others (even when that advice is my own) and instead choose to prove the naysayers wrong….  It isn’t often that one just happens to be driving through the city hosting game six of the World Series either. It would turn out that Boston would go on to win game six and clinch the World Series at home for the first time in nearly 100 years in this storied franchises’ history…. we had to give it a try.

Well I’m still driving and Buttercup is in one piece…. Although we did narrowly escape a low tunnel with about 4 feet to spare before the exit when I noticed the “10 foot low clearance” sign ahead.  We won’t be attempting this feat again soon.

Enjoy the pictures!

1- Gordy SoxGordy was excited and dressed for the game early.

2 - Police EscortSo this is my rear view mirror. That is the back door with a small window I look through to see what is behind me.  What is difficult to make out is the police escort trailing me because I had propane on board.  Apparently this is a no-no when traveling through the tunnel that I needed to traverse on my way to the stadium.  Thankfully I was deemed non-threatening and the escort was sufficient.

3 - Easy parkingIt turns out that parking an RV is easy in Cambridge.  Also, by chance, this is the street that my cousin used to have her office on.  What are the odds?

4 - Them ApplesHe got her number.  How do you like them apples.

5- At the RiverBy the river.

6 - SundownGreat evening for a game 6!

7 SkylineI decided to make the walk to Fenway. The view was pretty great and the Prudential Building was in full support of the home team.

The last time I was in town was the week of the Boston Marathon. The morning I left, the city was on lock-down, and in the middle of a manhunt for the bombing suspects.  The scene and atmosphere in the city couldn’t have been more different for my return.  The pictures should speak for themselves…  What a difference.

9 FenwayJust blending in.

10 - PoliceThe bike police had a parade!  It reminded me of the Shriners!

11 - Melissa World SeriesThis is Melissa. She asked if I had an extra ticket to the game… I didn’t.  We waited around the park for a while, taking in the atmosphere and energy of the place before I rented a bike and we took off back to Cambridge to enjoy the rest of the game indoors at “Miracle of Science” on Mass Ave with some ginger-beers and other locals.

12 - Last OutBefore the last out of the game…  This local was ready for the victory… they got it and the Sox Won.  The place went pretty crazy and I have to say I was glad to be around and be a part of it all.
