Burlingame State Park to Hanscom AFB, MA

We left Burlingame State Park this morning about 10:30 and headed north on US-1. We stayed on US-1 until it connected with SR-138 where SR-138 crosses Narragansett Bay. The Newport Bridge which crosses Narragansett Bay is a toll bridge and our toll was $4 for the RV and the car. SR-138 becomes SR-24 and we continued north until we stopped at a rest area near Scotland, MA for lunch.

We stayed on SR-24 until we connected with I-95 south of Boston. Then we took SR-225 northwest for about a half mile to the turnoff for Hanscom AFB Famcamp. We arrived at the campground around 1:30 p.m. We're in Site #49 - a fairly level pull-through with a concrete patio. We have 50 amp electric and wifi. Hanscom Famcamp doesn't take reservations, but we had no problem getting a site.
From Boston, MA
After hooking up and getting settled in, Mike called the Camping World in Chicester, NH to order a new awning. Our RV insurance will cover the new awning and installation (less our deductible). Our insurance company said they would pay Camping World for the new awning and installation, but Camping World had to have everything paid for before they would order the awning. After we told the insurance company that we would pay for the awning and would have Camping World fax them the invoice where we paid for it, our insurance company agreed to mail us a check to reimburse us.
