Hubby & I will leave in about a week and half from west Texas for an extended vacation in the New England area. Of course there is lots to see going to and from there also. This trip has been up in the air a couple of times due to weather up north...but most say go ahead and go. Any of you that have suggestions for "must see places" east of Texas, we would still like to here from you. We plan to be gone about a month so we hope to do & see everything we want on this trip of a lifetime. Traveling with our 5th wheel camper, so RV park suggestions helpful too. I have had a few wonderful suggestions, but can really use some more. Thanks everyone!!!

Stop in Batesville AR for Marshall Dry Goods.

I'm not sure I'd go to the northeast now. Not after Irene & TS Lee. Lots of places are under water or the bridges are washed away.

Yellowstone is beautiful this time of the year. :)

Thanks for heads up about Marshall Dry Goods, I've heard several talk about it, but forgot where it was. I have communicated with a few board members in the N.E. area and there seems to still be plenty of area to go that were not too badly hit. I am also monitoring a few websites regarding the weather and conditions in the areas. THANKS

Tennessee and Smokie Mountains are beautiful in the fall.
Of course I think South Carolina is great. S.C. has some of the best campgrounds anywhere. Several are right on the ocean. Do you belong Good Sams RV Club?

Pigeon Fordge,Tenn. it's beautiful there...just got linked to a new campground there and it looks wonderful....google Up The Creek campground....there is so much to do in that area you'll want to stay a week...Try to bypass new york city and route yourself to upper state new york....I could fill a book of things to do and places to go up there....I love it....It's like being in another world, it's so different....In portland we went right down to the water and waited for the lobsterboats to come in and they sold us lobsters...we went to campground,made a fire and cooked them ...Have fun !!!
