Our passports are being renewed, so crossing the border to the Canadian side was out of the question. This was an opportunity to visit the falls on the US side. The Canadian side has a better reputation for a frontal view of the falls. The US side offer what is more of a sideways view. … Continue reading Niagara Falls – USA side
“Kodak” museum and fingers lake area – Canandaiga lake
Three main things today: 1- Eastman Kodak’s world headquarters are based out of Rochester NY. So we decided to visit the Kodak museum. It had a quite interesting display on the history of photographic media and cameras. Undoubtedly, the best part of the visit was the self-guided tour of the Eastman mansion. 2- We drove… Continue reading “Kodak” museum and fingers lake area – Canandaiga lake
Erie Canal
Today, we drove to Macedon, NY to a campground that backs off on the Erie Canal, which connects lake Ontario to Lake Erie. While it is definitely a canal, it is much smaller than I was expecting, and just wide enough for recreational boats. Today was really hot, and we spent most of the afternoon… Continue reading Erie Canal
Salmon River Falls
For our day two in Parish, we started off by canoeing for about an hour in the morning, on a small lake which was part of the campground property. In the afternoon, we drove to Salmon River Falls, close to the campground. The falls were quite nice, and the path to the falls mostly graveled… Continue reading Salmon River Falls
Parish, NY
First time camping in NY state with this RV (new sticker on our map) and first two-night stay on this trip. First impression is that the campground we are at is a very well maintained. We explored the campground and planned to go and do some canoeing tomorrow
Revisiting Lackawanna State Park
we had been to this park before, and intentionally came back here. A funny thing happened when we got to our site…it was occupied. So I get out of the truck, and walk up to the man who was visibly in the process of either setting up or packing up. I told him, “you’re in… Continue reading Revisiting Lackawanna State Park
Off we go to the great lakes area
Today’s goal was to finish packing and leave. So our first stop was relatively close – near Hershey PA. It’s fair to see that we very rarely have a sit-down meal while we travel. However, since we had minimal driving to do, and we were hungry, we actually stopped. That was nice. We still got… Continue reading Off we go to the great lakes area

End of Central Time Zone and return to the Eastern Time Zone
We have been in the Central Time Zone for most of our trip. That started when we arrived at Cave City, KY on January 3rd, and ended today, February 18th when we arrived in Chattanooga, TN. So that was roughly a month and a half in the central time zone. We had to adjust… Continue reading End of Central Time Zone and return to the Eastern Time Zone
Battle of the Ladybugs
Claudette’s 2 cents: If there is one thing that is annoying is having bugs land on you while you’re working, eating, or worse, sleeping. That is so with our latest invasion of ladybugs. We first got a large infestation of them last fall after spending several days at Shenandoah campground. We hadn’t noticed them at… Continue reading Battle of the Ladybugs
