Winter Excursion 10, Day 3

It rained hard all night and then all day. The wind gusted to almost 50 mph. It was a raw, cold, and wet day. We stayed hunkered down in the camper.

Some of our Camping Friends came over in the afternoon. It is always good to see Chris & Jean. We spent most of the afternoon yakking and catching up on news. Cath made the perfect meal for dinner, Chicken and Dumplings. With this weather it was a welcome meal. It warmed our innards!

We watched a few shows and then hit the rack. The wind was still kicking!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 2

We definitely made the right decision to leave a day early. The weather here today was horrible! It rained all day, temps stayed in the low 40s, and the wind never quit. The low clouds made it even drearier. It would not have been a fun travel day.

We made a quick trip to Wally World for a few supplies, but spent almost the entire day in the camper watching TV.

I guess the bright side is with all the wind and rain we got a free truck wash!   

Winter Excursion 10, Day 1

It's hard to believe this is Winter Excursion 10!

It is actually Day -1. We left home a day early to avoid the wind and rain forecast for tomorrow.

We made it to our first stop at Cortland, NY with no issues. Last night the rain started around 0200 and is still continuing all day. The wind is gusting near 25 mph.

We are at Greek Peak Campground. We stayed here last year for a few days. It is a good first day stopping place. It is only 120 miles from home. We will stay here four nights so we can visit some camping friends that live in the area.

It is good to be back on the road again. As always we are looking forward to this year's trip.

All is well in the Boss Camp!  

Winter Excursion 9, Day 291

We left camp this morning for our drive home, but first we stopped at the Welding Shop to get the battery deck repaired. It took about 1.5 hours, but the welder did a great job.

The 200 mile drive home went by fast with no issues. Here's the Lewis County line on RT 177. Welcome Home!

The house seems in good shape. There is plenty of dead bugs, but very little sign of mice. We will stay in the camper for a few days while we get everything cleaned up.

I'll type up and post the trip stats in a day or so.

It's good to be home!

Winter Excursion 9, Day 290

Woke up this morning to find a lake outside the camper at the water pedestal. Seems the underground line (pipe) was broken. We called the Rangers and maintenance was able to turn it off. Later in the day a crew came to repair the line. They had to turn off water to the entire camping loop. Luckily we had filled our fresh water tank yesterday. 

Our friends left this morning. We will see them when we leave for our winter trip this year.

We took a drive to the Shoe Trees and to get some gas for the drive home tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 9, Day 289

Today was a hot one. Temps were in the 90s by late morning. These temps are forecast to break tomorrow. We should get some cooler weather.

We just hung out a camp today. I did get a short bike ride in.

We had dinner with our friends and once again sat and yakked for awhile. It's been a fun few days with them. They leave in the morning. We will see them again when we start our winter trip in October.

Late evening we put everything away as rain is forecast for tomorrow morning.  

Winter Excursion 9, Day 288

We spent most of the day in camp. The weather moderated a little as the humidity is not so bad.

We did head out to a cider mill that we'd visited six yeas ago. The cider is still cold and delicious. We sat out back in the shade and enjoyed the breeze coming of Lake Ontario. 

We got a pic of this crazy thing on the way back to camp. I'm not sure what it is, but I'll bet the neighbors love it! 

We had a nice dinner with our camping friends and sat outside yakking until almost dark. It's been a nice day.
