Well, it's day two of our trip. After spending the night in the parking lot of the casino, we got an early start, only to find that our black water tank (the poop tank) was full. I hadn't realized this, and should of emptied it before we started our trip. The extra weight limited the gas milage. plus makes the RV not smell so nice...To make a long story short, it took us 3 hours and 3 different camp sights before we were able to find a dump station. So, we really didnt get on the road until about 11:00. But hey, we are on vacation, so what's the rush: right? We traveled across the Tapazee Bridge in New York. I was driving the Rv and for those of you who know me, I am not the fondest of high bridges, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. But, I faced my fears and made it across without incident. We had lunch in the quaint little hippie town of Nyack, NY with my neice Madison. It was really nice to see her and meet some of her friends. The thermometer registered a whopping 100 degrees!! It was sweltering and the pups had a tough time with the heat. We took a short walk to the Hudson River where the pups soaked their feet. We loaded back into the RV and head south on the Jersey Turnpike to Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania which took us to Interstate 80 West. We will follow this road all the way to Colorado. The scenery in in PA is beautiful, lots of silos and farmland with beautiful rolling hills. We decided to set up camp in a remote campground a few miles off the interstate. We cooked our first meal on the grill and for some reason, food is always better when cooked outside. There are also a million fireflies that are illuminating the campground. Takes me back to my childhood when we would capture them in a jar and even sometimes pull their bodies off and make a "diamond ring" for our finger. Tomorrow, we head out early and hope to find some Amish villages.......time for some shopping! :)
