As hinted in the Radio Redux entry, the weekend right after we returned from the Great Circle trip was the Vermont Quilt Festival. Deb goes every year - I wait back at the campsite and pick her up when she's done.
It's about a 4-and-a-half-hour trip up there but it's through some pretty scenery so it's not all bad. I didn't do a formal measurement but, with all the hills/mountains, the gas mileage was pretty bad...
Anyway, not much to report on this trip. We had a nice site and set up the screen porch, cooked dinner and played Rumi-cube. The next day, we disconnected water and power, retracted the awning and took Deb to the Champlain Valley Exposition Center where the show is held. Skip and I just go back to the campsite and chill until Deb calls us and we go get her.
There are a couple of times where having another vehicle would be helpful so we didn't have to use the rig but I hate the idea of towing a car (and what that would do to the mileage) so we just deal with it.
When we left Sunday, Deb said she wanted to stop in a quilt museum just down the road. Turns out this is the Shelburne Museum which is apparently very famous. Not only are there quilts but also paintings, costumes, tools, antique snowmobiles and even an actual steamship in a field. Skip and I waited in the RV but Deb had a great time.
The drive home was uneventful so it was another successful trip under the belt.
