Day 12 - Massachusetts

Today is going to have to be kind of short. We are in an area that has no Wi-Fi and very little cell coverage. Plus sitting outside the tent, I am getting eaten alive by mosquitos.
We rode about 50 miles today. It was a pretty hilly day as well. We sure did ride through some beautiful areas. There were some homes that were magnificent.  They had these areas to jump the horses over the fences and stuff (I can't figure out how to spell drasage?? ) so it must have been a wealthy area.
The only place to get groceries was in a town about six miles from the campground so we had to all gather there on our way here so that we could all help carry the groceries. That is the first time that we have had to do that. We are also having a hard time finding campgrounds that are open. The place we were going to stay at tomorrow is closed because of the hurricane.  They say some places we are heading into have no electricity yet. Dave, our leader, spent much of today trying to find a place. I guess we are staying at this older cheap motel. That could be an experience. We may have to sleep in the sleeping bag.
We ride in three states tomorrow. We are currently in Massachusetts and we ride across the corner of Rhode Island and we will then be in Connecticut.
