2010 - Here We Go Again!

Our first camping trip of 2010 couldn't have come too soon!  We had cabin fever - big time!  Today we left for Turning Stone Casino's Villages Campground, near Syracuse.  This is where we left off last season, and we're looking forward to seeing our rv.net friends, as well as Ariel and Joe who are at SUNY Morrisville, about 30 minutes away.




After driving about an hour, we stopped for fuel and did a safety check before taking off.  The front tires on the Jeep, towed behind us, were worn down to the fibers!!  "The key had fallen out of the ignition" ( ???), and locked the tires, and in the short time of driving, had destroyed the tires. What a fiasco!




So, here we are in New Paltz at a tire center waiting for 2 new tires to be delivered and installed.  Never a dull moment!


Got to the campground, and had trouble leveling, getting a satellite signal, and getting the TV to work. Left it all, and went out to eat with Ariel & Joe, and when we came back, we noticed the ground under the motorhome was all wet.......Seems we had the water intake valve set to the wrong position, and the fresh water tank was over filled, and we had our own Niagra Falls coming out of the motorhome! But.....Johnny T to the rescue!  He shut the valve while we were gone, and then helped us with all our other problems.  Had fun tonight with all our rv.net friends, and again, Tony was overserved.  However, that didn't stop him from getting up early to play Texas Hold 'Em at Turning Stone Casino.  Hope he wins $350 to cover the new tires we had to buy yesterday !!!


Update.....looks like we'll have to cover the cost for the tires ourselves  :-(


Went to see Ariel at college, and check out Joe's Lacrosse Playoff game at Morrisville.  They were ahead when we left.  Tomorrow we head back there to see Ariel ride in an equestrian competition. The ducks and geese were out for a stroll on a perfect afternoon.






Sat around the campfire at the Brown's tonight with friends.  The camping season has really started now!


Update......Got up at 6:30 and TZ was gone again.  He returned from TS Poker tables at 7am and won almost $300 !!    Pay off those tires!!!


Ariel took 2nd and 4th place in her competitions - Of course, it looked like it should have been 1st to us.
