Trip To Algonac State Park & Niagara Falls, Ontario, Day 1

 September 6, 2021, Misty Mountain Park, Cuba, NY - 175.2 Miles, 175.2 Miles For the Trip

Site 23

Well, first I have to apologize for the abrupt ending of my posts on the trip to Pickin' In The Pasture. I planned to do a wrap up page when I got home, but things got a bit hectic & I never got around to it.

In any case, a new trip. Anne, Guido & I are heading to a fiberglass trailer rally at Algonac State Park in Michigan. They will return to Binghamton after the rally going back the way we came, while I hope to cross into Canada and head to the Niagara Wine Escape rally in Niagara Falls, Ontario. I say hope, because a Covid test is required within 72 hours of crossing the border & while I have a reservation for a test on Friday, the 10th, if the results take more than 3 days I'm toast. 

I packed the trailer using the latest revision of my 4 page packing list, and was ready to go at 10:00 this morning. Anne & Guido were at the Guido Labor day picnic at his brother's in Scriba, the town on the other side of Oswego so they drove to my house to start the trip.

The drive as far as Rochester was on NY 104, then 590 & 390, NY 30 & I 86 to Cuba, NY. The campground looks to be mostly permanent or long time sites, but they did find two with water & electric next to each other. I'm in 23, Anne & Guido in 22. Their site looks more like on of the dirt roads, while mine is on grass - $45.00 for one night. I had to unhook to get the tongue low enough to level front to back; side to side was OK. 

After setting up we sat around enjoying the nice weather. It was raining much of the morning and during the start of the trip, however now the sun is out and it is a pleasant 72°F.

The pleasant temperature dropped to 63°F just after dinner, and the mosquitoes came out in droves. By 7:00 I headed in to do my eye drops & don't plan on going back outside.

Dinner was Beyond Burgers, Potato Salad, and applesauce.


Until Tomorrow -
