Well, here we go again. Up at the unearthly hour of 6:30 AM. Finished the packing, and out to get some breakfast. We had everything hooked up and on the road before 8AM.
Weather looked OK, high overcast which is good as driving into the sun gets a bit too warm for the long haul. Unfortunately, shortly after crossing into the States, the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee unleashed themselves upon us. We finished up the last 7 hours of the trip in heavy rain. At least the truck and trailer got washed.
We arrived at the campsite a lot earlier than expected, remind me not to trust mapquest again! We were also introduced to the tolls on the New York thruway, $32.50 later we left NY and joined the Mass Turnpike, another toll road. We did half the distance on the turnpike as we did on the thruway, and got charged one tenth of the price.
We arrived at the camp ground and got setup (in the rain). From what we have seen the campsite should be pretty good with fairly large, wooded sites. Haven’t yet set up the TV so not sure whether the satellite signal will make it through the trees, but at least there is some WiFi, haven’t tried the phone out yet, so not too sure how good it is.
By the time we had the place set up, it was too late to go shopping, specially as the local supermarket was taken out by a tornado back in June, and hasn’t yet been rebuilt!
We went into the local town of Monson, and had a pizza… the shopping can wait til tomorrow.
