Day 1, 2016, Sept 23-27 NORTHEAST GATHERING- SCHODACK ISLAND NYSP

Site 35, Schodack Island State Park

A pleasant drive across upstate NY on NY 104, US 5 & US 20.  US 20 was interesting - it goes through the middle of Albany, NY's capital.  In fact, right next to the Erastus Corning Tower, at 590' and 44 floors, it has to be the tallest state office building in the nation.  With the number of NY politicians & officials under indictment, they could probably lop off a few floors!

The Schodack Island State Park looks fairly new.  Electric only sites are $24.00 per night, restrooms with showers are at the start of the loop.  I'm in site 35, on sand, near the end of the loop.  Some train noise (although no horns) and a bit of traffic noise from the 912M bridge over the Hudson.  One bar of AT&T, and a good 3 bar Verizon signal, although very slow for a 4G LTE connection.

There are a couple of other fiberglass trailers here already, but most are expected tomorrow.  Dinner was a salad & Bubba burger.
