We sadly left Traverse Bay RV Resort on Friday and travelled down I-75 South to I-90 through Cleveland, OH and spent the night at Presque Isle Downs in Erie, PA. This is the third time we have dry-camped at a casino and we find it much better than Walmart, etc. The parking lots are huge and you are generally not right next to another coach.

Saturday we travelled I-86 to I-88 to I-87 and spent the night dry-camping yet again, now the fourth time, at the Saratoga Springs Casino where we spent the evening watching harness races....which was a first for me. What fun!

Sunday took us to Twin Mountain, NH. We tried to get into our campground in ME but they were booked solid so we are staying at Twin Mountain Campground until Tuesday. They only have 30 amp service available but, the weather is so cool, we opened up the windows and enjoyed the cool air.

| Mount Washington Hotel |
Monday was our 10th Wedding Anniversary so we celebrated by having a relaxing lunch on the outdoor balcony of the Mount Washington Hotel where we reminisced about our wedding on Catalina Island and other great adventures we have enjoyed.
As grand as the history behind it, the Mount Washington Resort is gracious in ambiance and generous in amenities. A favorite New England retreat of presidents, poets and celebrities, the hotel delights every sense with enchanting music, refined dining and luxurious décor. The resort boasts a classic Donald Ross-designed golf course, award-winning alpine and Nordic ski center, luxurious signature spa, decadent dining facilities and nine high-flying zip-lines.
A grand masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture, the resort was a two-year labor of love for 250 master craftsmen who took on its restoration. Conceived by industrialist Joseph Stickney, this National Historic Landmark opened in 1902 and has been attracting generations of families ever since and is now owned and operated by Omni Hotel Resorts.
The picture below is Mount Washington and part of the golf course as viewed from the outdoor balcony where we lunched. The mountain soars to an elevation of 6,288 feet and the summit is still in the clouds. It mostly stays in the clouds due to its enormous height. George hiked this mountain as a teenager with his friend Jeff.
