2026-27 Trip to the Southeast, Day 24

Day 24, Tuesday, November 10 - The Guidos, Binghamton, NY -  Miles for the Day, 1,420.9 Miles for the Trip

44°F this morning and 48°F for my morning walk.

I decided to stop at the cafe for French toast this morning, but found a sign on the door announcing that starting November 1st the office (and cafe) would be closed Tuesday & Wednesday. Oh well, I still have a freezer full of stuff & I bet mt coffee is better.

I say around and read until 11:00, then did a final dump of the tanks, packed up the trailer, and headed to Binghamton. Evidently there was a multi car crash on I 81 north that closed the northbound lanes between here I Binghamton yesterday, but Google's AI tells me that the road is open this morning. Hope so. The last time I had to cut over to US 11 for a blocked I 81 the back up was hours long.

While there didn't seem to be any back up to clear an accident, there was a 25 minute back up with stop & go driving for a construction section that reduced the road from 2 to 1 lane. I arrived at the Guidos around 2:30.

We sat around for a bit, then I rewired a solar panel I gave Guido. For some reason the original wiring between the two folding 80 watt panels dissolved at the connectors. I suspect it was copper coated aluminum wire. In any case in my collected junk in the trailer I had the wire & connectors to put it back together.

After that it was off to the Little Venice restaurant for dinner. I had chicken parmigiana. I forgot to take a site photo and It was dark when I got back so I didn't get to do one then. If you want to see one, just look at one of the other fall trips since I usually stop there when the Guidos join me.

Until Tomorrow -
