Wells State Park, Massachusetts

  This last leg of our trip before our final ascent to Maine has taken its toll on our chief driver, Ranman. After a grueling 7 1/2 hour drive, he scraped the bottom of TZD on the curb as he was rounding a turn toward our campsite.  Poor guy, he was tired and hungry and was just in a hurry to set up camp. We learned a valuable lesson to scout out the lay of the campground in Austin before driving the Airstream to our assigned spot.
  One of the rear stabilizing jacks was scraped up so badly it wouldn't extend out to do its job. Ranman was able to remove the jack and then demangled it with some pliers, a hammer, and a whole lot of brut strength.  After attaching it, the stabilizer worked perfectly. Ranman is now working his way up to be chief mechanic :-). Our list of minor repairs that need to be done at the Airstream service center in Ohio is growing.

  The featured restaurant according to our research is a "Southern Barbecue" joint.  I should have known from its location in Massachusettes that it would just be average.

Ranman is smiling because he hasn't tried the food yet
