Hello Campers! We are so close to camping season I can already smell the pines. It looks like more people are selling than buying this year. I guess with Covid many tried rving on for size, but it just wasn't a fit for them. If you are one of those campers, let me know. I'd love to help facilitate your sale. Sometimes the buyer and seller just need a go between to make things happen. Monetization, Presentation, Negotiation, Facilitation and Documentation are all important parts of the sales process. That's where My RV Guy comes in. In a competitive market it's crucial to close potential buyers fast. Call me at 401-949-63RV to learn more. I'd love to help.

The historic Glocester Town Pound is a fairly well preserved colonial animal pound in northern Rhode Island. The stone pound was built by Andrew Brown (Chad Brown’s Great-Grandson) in 1748 to confine stray farm animals. It is said to be the oldest surviving pound in the U.S.A. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, this dry wall stone structure was an exploit of colonial engineering.

The Browns initiated a pound system which rescued stray animals, cared for them and charged the animal’s owners a pound keepers fee for holding them. Andrew Brown (1706 to 1783), moving to Glocester in 1730 took on the unofficial role of Glocester’s first Animal Control Officer. The historic town pound can still be seen at Pound Road and Chopmist Hill Road. Brown, his wife Mary and his six children lived about seven hundred yards from the site. Today their property is the home of Mulberry Vineyards.

If you decide to make the trip, you may as well make a day of it. “Wine & History” would make for the perfect day of exploring and enjoying history in the great outdoors.

Remember, time is our most precious commodity. Spend it wisely!

Best,

Ron Ash aka My RV Guy

A really nice place. Great food and friendly service. Sometimes I read one of their complimentary books while I'm there. It's a quaint little store and deli with a great clientele. A really nice casual establishment to meet and share a sandwich or beverage.

The song "One Fine Day" was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The Chiffons' rendition catapulted it to popularity in the summer of 1963 . "One Fine Day" won the top five spot on the "Billboard Hot 100" that year.
