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...
During our July ‘pause’ and now that we have a few months of RVing under our belts, I thought I’d summarize what we’ve learned, and “the good, the bad, and the ugly.” So this blog post is purely about RVing, and there are no pretty photos or fun camping...
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...
The weather on Tuesday afternoon turned out a bit better than expected, so we headed into Ithaca to find a couple other waterfalls. First, we went to aptly-named Ithaca Falls. Unbelievably beautiful…massive falls, both tall and wide, and LOTS of water – surprising given that we’ve had a relatively...
We left yesterday morning for our first of three state park trips this month, to Robert Treman State Park in Ithaca, NY. This trip is different from our previous trips in a couple of ways… It’s so close to home (about two hours), we decided to drive both the...
It’s been a quiet couple of weeks while RoVer was at the dealer for repairs. We picked her up this past Tuesday and so far, so good! The 45-minute drive back from the dealer was uneventful, and the touchscreen is still fully attached to the dash, where it belongs!...
Our trip on Wednesday was uneventful and smooth…just like it should be! Beautiful day to travel – dry, clear, with comfortable temperatures! We generally try to get gas when the tank is about half full (mostly because the price tag is a little less frightening), and we did the...
