2025 Trip To The Spring Fling, Day 16

Wednesday, May 28, Home, Oswego, NY - 195.6 Miles, 978.5 Miles For The Trip

A boring drive on the NY Thruway with a short burst of excitement as someone on an on ramp didn't believe they were suppose to yield to traffic. I arrived in Oswego a little before 2:00.

I unpacked most of the trailer & started a load of laundry. Since almost everything needs to come up one flight of stairs to get into the house, my watch tells me I did 12 flights of stairs & I'm beat. I'll recheck the trailer tomorrow to see what I forgot to unload.

Since I don't currently have plans to travel over the next month or so, I suspended Starlink . I can restart it if I decide to head out.

Dinner will be a shrimp pink plate from Rudy's, my usual meal after a trip (at least when they are open).

Until next time - 

2025 Trip To The Spring Fling, Day 15

Tuesday, May 27, Schodack Island State Park, Schodack Landing, NY - 192.9 Miles, 782.9 Miles For The Trip

We started moving the trailers around at 10:30. First, the Guidos Scamp was spun around so they could hook up to the Sienna and drive down the driveway. The Escape, being larger, was a bit more difficult to spin around, but Dave's tractor did the trick. On the way down the driveway I took out one of my cell antennas. Probably a good thing since I suspect they are not covering many of the new frequencies the cell companies are using. I'll look for a replacement when I get back to Oswego. Dave took a couple of photos of us:

Me, Jackie, Anne & Guido

An easy drive on the Mass Turnpike & the NY Thruway. We arrived at Schodack a little after 3:00. I', in site 8, the Guidos in site 6. Both are pull throughs with electric only. Mine was far from level - I needed 2" side to side and had to drop the tongue 5", requiring unhooking from the truck. $27.00 per night. We are only here tonight.

Me in Site 8

We read for a bit listening to lots of birds & watching the cottonwood fluff floating down on everything.

Dinner was grilled chicken Bubba Burgers for Anne & me and since I only had two burgers, a jalapeno brat for Guido.

Until next time - 

2025 Trip To The Spring Fling, Day 14

Monday, May 26, Dave & Jackie's, Middleborough, MA, Day 5 - 0 Miles, 590 Miles For The Trip

While it started out as a warm night, it was down to 48°F by morning. 

Another day of reading and relaxing. We did move around the cars & trucks so Jackie's son could mow the lawns, and it eventually warmed up to the mid 60's. 

The Scamp is almost done; only the final touches are left. We plan to dance the trailers around tomorrow and head towards home.

Dinner was a honey chicken & orzo meal that Anne out together, along with frozen Snickers for dessert.

Until next time - 

2025 Trip To The Spring Fling, Day 13

Sunday, May 25, Dave & Jackie's, Middleborough, MA, Day 4 - 0 Miles, 590 Miles For The Trip

Today we went to visit with Guido's cousin Ruth in her house in Barrington, RI. We walked along the bay & I took a couple of photos:

Ruth, Buster & Anne

We went to lunch at the Wharf Tavern, first for a drink with some of Ruth's friends, then downstairs to dining room & some excellent seafood. I had shrimp tacos & a bowl of chowder.

That was pretty much all for the day. We did have a some crackers & cheese & sliced apples for dinner, but with the large lunch a small dinner was in order.

Until next time - 

2025 Trip To The Spring Fling, Day 12

Saturday, May 24, Dave & Jackie's, Middleborough, MA, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 590 Miles For The Trip

A bit warmer night, only going down to 48°F, and well into the high 50's by afternoon. We did the normal sitting around reading during most of the day. I did a load of laundry, and around 2:00 Guido & I went to the grocery store. I was only going to get a box of Mini Wheats, but walked out with $68.00 worth of groceries.

Back at the house and more reading. Dave is working hard on the trailer even through the light rain. He expects to finish on Monday, which would be good in that we won't have to try to drive home over the Memorial Day weekend.

I did take the "site" photos even though it was still a bit wet:

The Scamp

Dinner was a pork loin, potato salad, pasta salad and creamed spinach.
