Since we've returned home, The Old Seventy Six has only had a few other notable journies. One, inparticular, was a camping trip up at Hampton Beach that we embarked upon with Deannaphil and the two oldest nephews, Shane and Luke. We had a great time, but have to mention that Hampton Beach's campground SUCKS. Not only is it nothing but a dirt lot, but there is only about ten to fifteen spaces that have a full hookup--which, for those of you who are not camping enthusiasts, means you don't get to hook up to water, electricity, or sewer. Basically, we paid fifty bucks to park overnight a few blocks away from the beach. We made it fun regardless, but we weren't allowed to have a campfire because we weren't hooked up to water, and the boys were looking forward to making s'mores. My advice to anyone interested is that someone should look into finding or creating another lot near Hampton that doesn't suck.
The second notable journey, was Bobby's trip to Foxboro with his pops and a bunch of his friends for the Pats/Bills game at the end of September. The Old Girl is a perfect tailgaiting vehicle, since you'll never have to wait in line at a port-a-potty! The only problem was, The Old 76 came home a little tipsy if you know what I mean, leaking transmission fluid all over the darn place and groaning like her gears were angry, as if she'd eaten a few too many Late-Night Cheeseburger Doritos.
We haven't been able to drive the 76 since that trip, but we are sure our pal Kenny the mechanic can tune her up back to new so we can continue our camping journies! If anything, we are glad she got us through our trip. We just recently looked back on pictures from the trip and can't get over how much fun we had. What an experience. :)
