Short ride and relaxing!

June 15 -  A short driving day to Parish, NY to Bass Lake Resort.  We left Batavia just after 9 and got back on the toll road for another $19.  At least there wasn’t much traffic this morning and only 2 slow downs due to road construction.  Only 132 miles.  I had to use the bathroom really bad when we got off at our exit and knew there was a Sunoco.  Luckily it was a truck parking area and barely anyone there.  I did my business and then we went ahead and unhooked the truck since it was only 3-4 miles to the campground.  We topped off the RV tank as well. 

Check in time was 1pm but I called and asked if we could come in early and she checked our spot and it was open.  We have 3 free nights here from attending a “sales pitch” back in the fall.  We could have stayed 7 but most things are not open so the 3 nights we booked are fine.  Apparently the “freebies” don’t get a prime site.  We have 50 amp and water but no sewer.  We will be fine for 3 nights.

Once we got set up we had some lunch and Bill washed the RV front.  I had some calls to make and we set up our first campsite in Vermont.  Because we are traveling Vermont has some counties you can go to, I gather, if you’ve been on the road and some you can’t unless you have been traveling a week or more and get tested.  So I had to set up for us to be tested after our first 2 nights in VT.  I think we will try to finish our list of places in southern Vermont and then some places in Massachusetts and get to Connecticut a few days early.  NH and Maine have pretty much the same rules.

We took a drive into Parish, which is pretty small, and then kept going over to Mexico.  It’s a much larger town, it even has a McDonalds!  The high school there is gorgeous, very stately.  Just checked it out and came back and I made a bag dinner.  Bill was hoping for a restaurant but I only saw 3 open and they were all pizza places.  NADA! 

My favorite cow!!

On the way back I spotted 3 Belted Galloway cows along my side of the road.  Bill knows that is my favorite cow and one was pretty close so he turned around and took me back to get a picture.  She posed for me then turned around and went to join her buddies.

We had our dinner and I got back on the computer trying to get my itinerary updated. Kam called to check on us old folks. 

It’s a lot cooler here for sure!  No need for AC during the nights. 

Time for some TV!
