(Warning: Long post ahead, covers 3.5 days!) We enjoyed lunch outdoors on Thursday, and then in the afternoon we took advantage of some of the amenities at the campground – played a round of miniature golf (which I won!), and then tried our hands at pickleball. We’ve never played...
This week marks the start of our longest distance trip thus far…and is also right up there for total number of days. We will stay at a total of seven campgrounds in six states over 14 days! Prepping for this trip was definitely far more involved than our recent...
Turns out you can have ice cream and s’mores in the same day. We successfully accomplished this task on Wednesday! Looks like our campsite neighbor was successful in finally assembling his origami kayak; we saw him walking toward the beach with it at dusk on Wednesday. Hopefully he enjoyed...
Our travels this week bring us to the Thousand Islands region of NY. For those not familiar with the area, there are 1,864 islands in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the US/Canada border. And yes, it’s believed that the salad dressing is named for the area! We are camping...
The rain and thunderstorms continued yesterday afternoon, leaving our campsite pretty wet and muddy. Yuck. Definitely no fun to camp in the rain, and everything just ends up so damp and impossible to dry out! Not to mention all the mud and muck that tracks into the RV. Oh...
We’re back! Mark successfully completed his four weeks of grand jury duty, but I have no idea if it was interesting or not because he’s not allowed to tell us anything about their ‘secret’ proceedings. He was fortunate because he only had to go three days/week; there was another...
We started our day on Friday with another hike, this time around Lily Lake – about 1.5 miles and a little more challenging than Chenango Lake Trail. More inclines and LOTS of stones and tree roots to step around. The lake is, of course, full of water lilies and...
While RoVer was parked in between trips, we had a crazy wind and rainstorm in Rochester, so it was good to see that our vent covers did their job and kept the rain out even though the vents were open! Loading up for these weekly trips has been pretty...
During our downtime between trips, there was a nice cool day and Mark decided to tackle a project – installing a roof vent on RoVer. There are three roof vents in the RV (living room, bedroom, bathroom) that we can open for fresh air (plus, of course, several windows...
Thursday morning, we headed to nearby Buttermilk Falls State Park (literally 10 minutes away). I thought these would be different and buttermilk would be flowing instead of water…but alas, it’s just named for the creek that creates the falls. With the choice of a rim trail or a gorge...
