The trip to Parish,NY was an easy 75 miles drive down interstate 81 from the Canadian border. It was a beautiful day, so Carol drove the rig and Bruce rode the scooter.
On our first walk around the park, Bruce spotted the scooter to the left which had counter-rotating wheels with the slightest breeze!
This is probably one of the nicest places we have stayed this summer. It's 266 acres include a lake (bass fishing), woods, a lot of open but mown grassy areas, 2 pools (there are separate adult -21 and over- and children/family pools), an adult and family club house, a cafe, and on Saturday night they had a live band with dancing outdoors under the stars.
We were lucky to again have a spacious site, not too far from the pool and the adult club house and just a short walk from the horseshoe pits. Bruce has been teaching Carol to pitch, and evidently he's a great instructor because in one of their games she tossed a "double ringer"!! To be honest, it was much more of a fluke than any newly developing skill, but fun anyway!
A couple Carol met in Sebring, Fl during her 1st year of retirement, live about 10 miles from the campground, so we got together with them to go to the races at the Brewerton Speedway on Friday night. Their grandson was driving that night, as did his grandfather years ago!
On Saturday, the husband (whose name is also Bruce) took us on a great ride around the area. He was riding his 1983 1100 Goldwing which looked like new! He and Joyce put over 100,000 miles on it when they were doing cross country trips!
Along the way that day we stopped at the Salmon River Falls which claim to be 10 feet higher than Niagara, although relatively narrow. People (including Bruce!) actually walk right out to the edge!
So now we're headed to the Finger Lakes area - our last stop on the "Grand New England Tour of '09".
