29 August 2013 One night in a fabulous park

Our travel today was from Peru to Verona, New York. About 120 miles south on I-87 through some very green wooded hills with some of the leaves just starting to turn. This reminded us of the Blue Ridge Parkway that we traveled years ago, following the leaves down from Maine. After reaching Albany on I-87 we turned west onto the New York Thruway (a toll road) to Verona.

We are parked at the Villages at Turning Stone RV Resort--the top-rated park in New York. The grounds are lovely, with ponds, trees, and lots of groomed green grass. And Canada geese--so there is lots of goose p**p in some areas. Carlos is always interested in the geese and their leavings.

The resort is owned and operated by the Oneida Indian Tribe, as is the Turning Stone Casino nearby, gas station, and other enterprises. We hopped a shuttle to the casino where we had a buffet dinner. Patrice had lots of steamed mussels, surprise, surprise.

Tomorrow, on to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, dry camping in an Elks parking lot (the Labor Day weekend made the pickins slim. Three days in a great park coming up.
