“Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This”
Saturday, August 6, 2016 Waking up with no power and no water after last night’s storm, we had just enough water for two cups of coffee. The storm brought a cool front in and it was a delightful morning, but first to find a bathroom. With no power, the campground locked all the bathrooms. Well…

Crossing the Border
Some of you know the story from our last trip about crossing the border, so I was nervous. How many pocket knives do I have? You can only carry two bottles of wine. I had been using a tarp to cover the bikes in the truck and to also cover the cook box, but I…

Frederick Remington Art Museum
We drove 35 miles to Ogdensburg so Martha could get online and pay bills and we wanted to go to the Remington Art Museum. My bike brakes needed help also. All drives along the St. Lawrence River seem to be scenic byways, and this was certainly a pretty drive, although this area is very dry,…

Wellesley Island State Park
It’s nice to have bikes to explore a campground and that’s what we did this morning. It is a nice park with everything you can think of – marina, boat launch, great playgrounds, beach, store and a nature center. While Martha fixed a nice salad for lunch, I inflated the tires with a pump I…

Travel to Wellesley Island State Park
August 2nd We had a leisurely morning, then got cleaned up and headed back to Rome to see Fort Stanwix. It was worth it as it has been rebuild beautifully and really gives you a feel for what it was like in the late 1700’s. Our guide, Willie Scott, did a great job of explaining…

Long Day Driving
I can’t remember the last time I slept 8 hours, but I think I got 8 1/2 last night. Still groggy, we enjoyed a relaxing morning and a nice breakfast. Martha did yoga with a video she brought. Off in the distance we heard a lot of children making a lot of noise. As I…

On the Road at Last
I meant to get a picture of all our great neighbors in front of the Airstream before we left. Everyone came out to say goodbye at different times, but I had too many things on my mind, and it was so hot! August in Virginia is my least favorite month, and this one has been …

Leaving
We are taking off about noon today on a grand adventure exploring Eastern Canada. Martha has planned two stops along the way before getting to 1000 Islands National Park on Tuesday. It’s crazy how many friends we have talked to who are going to the same region. The truck is gassed up and the oil changed.…

Thoughts from Martha
Martha here. Greg has asked to me to write a few of my thoughts about our upcoming trip. So I will try to do that now. This will probably be the one and only time you will hear from me. Unless it is to correct something he said about me in his blogging or…
