Oh, a T is easy: Taos, NM. That's my destination for this afternoon -- to buy some more needed supplies for our polishing job on the Airstream! (But, of course, Taos is known for a whole lot more than just being the location of Zeke's Auto Supply, as I'm sure everybody's aware.)

Sandusky, OH
Home to Cedar Point Amusement Park. There have been at least two WBCCI Unit Rallys held near the park, and friends have commented on the roller coasters . . . .
The 1999 Vintage Airstream Club Wagon Wheels Caravan camped very near Sandusky for two nights . . . .

Y is for You have to at least once take in a REAL rural Fall fair. The one in Norwood Ontario Canada is a great example. It's over the US Columbus Day / Canadian Thanksgiving weekend as well! Here's a link: The Norwood Fall Fair, Norwood, Ontario
There are several nearby campgrounds nearby.
HAVE FUN!

N is for NAPLES, NY in the heart of the finger lakes wine country. Autumnal splendor on steep hillsides and crystal lakes competes with crisp NY apples and an endless variety of NY vintages. Come see, taste, enjoy! Finger Lakes Regional Tourism Authority on Places to Stay, Where to Eat and Things to Do - Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance

Solomon, KS
One of the many small communities along I-70 that many pass by without a thought. The main shopping district features several stores that provide some interesting browsing opportunities. As with many small Kansas communities the High School Homecoming becomes quite a festival.

N is for Northern NY State in Autumn. The kids are in school and Nature is putting on her most dazzling gown. Whether you drive along the majestic St. Lawrence River, or take in the incredible beauty of the Adirondack Mountains, you can't beat NNY in Autumn! Did I mention all the campgrounds are still open and quiet? Only a few hours north on I-81 or I-87. Do it!

As an addendum to my last post, here's a photo of Adirondack Mountains village Saranac Lake, NY in Autumn. Gorgeous!

From Saranac Lake, the 'e' takes us to Englewood, Florida on the gulf coast. Englewood has Manasota Key and its wonderful beach! There's plenty of RV parks in the area, including Venice, Northport, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, and Port Charlotte. We've spent this winter just north of there in Sarasota - 'The Cultural Capitol of Florida'!
Now, who has a 'D' destination?

Dutch Harbor, AK is a harbor located off of Amaknak Island in Unalaska, Alaska. It was the location of the Battle of Dutch Harbor in June 1942, and it was one of the few locations in American territory to be bombed by the Japanese during World War II.
Dutch Harbor is now the home of an important fishing industry.

The R from Dutch Harbor, AK leads us to Raquette Lake, NY in the heart of the picturesque Adirondack Mountains. Most people think of New York only as the city of skyscrapers and bustle. But there's the REAL NY of soaring mountains, endless chains of interconnected lakes, and nearly unlimited recreational activities throughout the year. If you visit once, you'll be back with your friends along!

Taking the final E from Raquette Lake we travel southeast to Esopus, NY on the Majestic Hudson River. Only 100 miles north of NY City, Esopus is a quiet township of fewer than 10,000 inhabitants. Settled in the 1600's it provides a nice day's outing exploring the historical locations. Official Town of Esopus Website, Esopus New York

I'll take the "S" from Esopus, NY. "S" should be an easy one for me - this Thursday, I'm headed to Santa Fe for the Four Corners Unit Santa Fe in the Summer III Airstream Rally. Santa Fe, the capitol of NM, also known as the "City Different." It will be a long expedition for me - all the way from Placitas, NM to SF, about 40 miles, he, he...

Santa Fe's "E" sets us off on the trail to Ellenburg, NY [12934] and the family-friendly
Ranch Side Camp Ground. Spend a night or all summer at this independently run location on a pleasant lake, and only an hour from downtown Montreal, QC. It's located right on US-11, and just around the corner from the historic Military Turnpike - a relic from the war of 1812, and still in use today as a main route to Plattsburgh, NY and the gem that is lake Champlain. Just beyond via a scenic highway or ferry ride is Vermont. Contact the campground via their Facebook page:

From Ellenburg, take the G to Gold Head Branch State Park, FL. One of Florida's first state parks, it was developed by the CCC in the 1930's. The park offers camping, hiking, birdwatching, canoeing & kayaking, fishing, and swimming. For geocachers, this park contains one of the 9 caches in the Florida State Parks Civilian Conservation Corp Geotrail. The ravine from which Gold Head Branch originates is not to be missed. Check it out from the overlook or take the stairs down for a different view.

M in Durham takes us to Manatee Springs State Park, FL. Camping, swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and SCUBA diving can all be had here. One is most likely to see manatees in winter, when the 72 degree water at the spring is warmer than the nearby Suwannee River. The spring itself is beautiful and powerful. Naturalist William Bartram traveled through the area in 1774 and later described Manatee Springs and the manatees he saw here in his book. It is a glimpse of the "real" Florida, but you don't have to take my word for it.

S from Springs carries us all the way to Sarasota, Florida - the "Cultural Capital" of Florida! From Orioles Baseball in winter, to the Ringing and other world-class museums, various local fairs, and near daily big-name entertainment at many splendid venues, Sarasota has it all! Here's a list of the top 88 attractions, just to get you started.

"A" from the end of Sarasota takes us to Alexandria Bay, NY and the 1000 Islands.
If you've not seen the islands, or not seen them in a while, Take I-81 as far north as possible, turn onto NY-12 North for a short couple miles, and feast on the summer recreation playground of millionaires! Boldt Castle in the St. Lawrence River offers a glimpse into that opulent lifestyle. Boats leave the Alex Bay docks regularly for the trip to the Island and tours of the region by water. You'll love it! It's a RESORT TOWN! ENJOY!

Y from the end of Alexandria Bay takes us across the country to YUMA, AZ.
Yuma is on the Colorado river, at the western edge of Arizona, next to the California border. Mexico is a short distance to the south. Yuma abounds with campgrounds and comes alive each winter with an influx of snowbirds escaping the northern weather.
The next destination should begin with A.
