Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.

Heading south the rain began and really ruined so many of the blackberries we had planned to pick. ha! Did manage to get a double batch of jam made as well as a pie and cobbler!

All the empty space we started with is now all filled up including the space behind the sofa which is now housing our new 60" TV. Our sleep number bed that has been with us since the beginning is being retired and a new mattress purchased for RV since weight is not the main issue any longer! All these pieces of sleep number bed are now tucked away in various places in the coach! Crazy but fun. What the heck. Our trek so far has been fun meeting up with a few old friends. Hanging out in Oregon until this weekend when we cross over in to California. Original plans were to go to Yosemite but since the fire we changed plans and now heading to Redwoods.
