(Friday, Oct. 1, 2010) -- I'm pinned down in a dark, heavily wooded campground in the western Massachusetts town of Pittsfield in the heart of the Berkshires. A huge storm is passing through. Rain is pounding on my roof. Just before daybreak a small tree toppled, glancing off my roof. But there's no damage that I can see. I had planned to leave here today but will stay until tomorrow rather than risk driving in this mess. I'll use the time to finish the RVtravel.com newsletter. Here's a little video I recorded earlier as I pretended I was a TV weatherman.
Is there a hole in the bottom left corner of your bumper? Did the tree do that or did you back into something? Keep us updated on your travels. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chuck, for the video. I enjoy your Journal very much. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteBeen following the east coast weather issues from here at home (Olympia).
ReplyDeleteBe safe in your travels. An additional day parked in safety is better than taking a chance in hazardous conditions.
Be careful!
Weatherman Chuck.....don't quite your day job...LOL!! Only kidding. Thanks for the video, and we're glad that the tree didn't do any damage!
ReplyDeleteHi Chuck
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see the leaves of Eastern states. Up in Ontario we also get the great colour of autum. It is hard to explain the colour without pictures and even the pictures do not do it justice. Have a great trip and enjoy the view
We who have lived on the East coast look at the fall COLORS and marvel, but someone who has not seen them have an experience waiting for them. We may not have every thng but FALL COLORS are just gorgeous. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteGreat video! We have a friend who has a farm right outside of Pittsfield - beautiful area (when it's not raining.) I guess you didn't climb Mr. Greylock.
ReplyDeleteWe were traveling through Vermont and New Hampshire in the same storm. Never seen so much rain! Glad for our 20K pound RV because the cars were sliding all over. Right on - the leaves were beautiful even in the overcast skies.
