So we awoke this morning to the sound of rain on the rooftop. It was on again, off again. We were able to get the bedroom slide in, the jacks up and on the road before the next down pour. We motored on down the road to a local breakfast spot for a bite to eat before we headed south to our next home. Sadly, breakfast was only so-so, it filled our tummies but it was really nothing to write home about. It is what it is.
As we headed south, on I81, the rain began again. Not that hard and it didn’t last that long. Within a few miles the rain had stopped and the skies began to clear. In no time, we were off the interstate and headed toward the campground that would be our new home for the next 4 days. One hour down, another hour to go.
Soon enough our GPS took us to the front gate and the drive leading to the front office. We’re going to spend the next 4 days at this campground. This campground has a total of 106 sites, only 20 though were for transients like ourselves. The remaining sites are all seasonal.
Check-in was straightforward. At check in we found out that there is a basic rate, but if you want, for instance to use your AC it would be an additional charge. Same for 50 amp. And so on and so forth. That’s why I’ve decided to name this the nickel and dime park. Well, they didn’t make any extra money on me! Maybe this is the new norm for campgrounds but this is the first time we’ve encountered anything like this. So be it. Check in complete we were escorted to our new home. Here it is, site #77.
Our site is a narrow pull through, hard packed gravel, it takes a nose dive to the front which made getting level a bit of a challenge, but the utilities were all conveniently located. As the picture shows there is really no site separation but there is thankfully ample shade. Shade is good especially since the heat wave has made itself known in this area of the country.
Well, so much for tonight. Once again we have a long day tomorrow since we are going to Niagara Falls for the day. Another one of those examples of stay flexible. Therefore I’m calling it a night. After all, I need my beauty sleep. I know, I know all that kind of sleep is not going to do me a bit of good! In closing a thought for all of us:
As always, if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries, let me suggest that you turn them over to God. After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.
Time now for our evening prayers and eventually some shut-eye. Till tomorrow.
