Winter Excursion 9, Day 2

We both had a great night's sleep after the past few days getting the camper ready, closing up the house, and just plain making sure everything was ready for us to be gone for 10 months! We didn't get up till after 0800!
We spent the day checking out and exploring the area. The local cider joint was nice. It reminded us of Burrville Cider Mill back home. We picked up some cider and some cider donuts!
Picked up a few "damn forgot those items" at the local Wally World.
The highlight of the day was spending the afternoon with our camping friends, Chris & Jean. They have a beautiful house at a great location out in the country. Jean made us some Homemade Lasagna and it was excellent. We will definitely be staying in this area (campground) in the future on our way south for the winter.
Chris and I did a little "drone flying" and I'll post some pics from that this weekend.
The sunset last night was good. Here's a pic.
But the sunset tonight rivaled it. Here's a few more pics.

This one is my favorite!
Had to include this one too!
We will be leaving tomorrow morning for our next few days stop at Pine Grove Furnace one of our go to CGs.

Winter Excursion 9, Day 1

Well here we go again! This one will be a BIG one. 30 Oct 24 to 18 Aug 25! This trip will include Hosting in Georgia, a Family Reunion in Oregon, and a Cruise to Alaska! 
We left home this morning at 1100 after putting on the finishing touches to close up the house. We took the backroads as the trip today was only 125 miles. It is a beautiful day with temps in the low 70s. 
We stopped at a fairly new campground just outside of Cortland, NY. Greek Peaks is a great CG for an overnight or two. While we were here the place was empty, we were the only campers! Full hookups are nice, pedestals are modern, and cell service is good. We are very happy with this CG and will stay again while traveling south for the winter in the future. 
The camper did well today with it's new roof and new "shoes" (Goodyear Endurance Tires). All systems are "go" except the heater. We fired it up a few weeks ago and it won't even click! We will have it looked at while in the Charleston area as it is under the oven and a bear to get to. I'll let a Mobile Tech have fun with it!
Here's a few pics of the campground. All is well in the Boss Camp.
