New York Turnpike - Sunday, July 5, 2015 - Iroquois Service Center

We said goodbye to this little cutie last night after the fireworks.  It never fails, grandma gets all teary-eyed after any of the kids or grandkids leave.  Papaw Greg knows it’s going to happen so he’s always ready with some hugs.  We had a great time with Robyn, Jason and Maddie just wish it was a little longer.

 

 

The fireworks at Short Sands Beach in York, Maine were beautiful last night.  It rained earlier in the day, the night was a bit cool but a great night for fireworks.

You might remember that when we pulled into the campground in York we were in the midst of a torrential downpour and we sank into mud in our grassy site.  We kept our fingers crossed and I said a little prayer when we started to leave this morning.  All went well, we pulled right out.  I’m sure the campground is going to have some ruts to deal with even though Greg filled them in as best he could with the tires still sunk in the mud while we were there.

Our goal today and the next two days is to cover at least 300 miles a day so we can be in Indiana sometime Tuesday afternoon.  Today we have been in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and New York.

 

 

Once we got rid of the folks that wanted to go to New York City the traffic hasn’t been too bad.

We are stopped for the night at the Iroquois Service Plaza on the New York Turnpike.  They allow overnight parking so we are taking advantage of it.  They don’t have any hookups so we are running the generator right at the moment but will probably shut it off when we go to bed.  It’s cool enough we shouldn’t need the air conditioner.
