'21/#14 It's Still Home

 Once again we are settling in at our new home. This time in Corfu, NY. We are in upstate NY, between Buffalo and Rochester at the Six Flags Darien Lake. This will be our home for the next 5 months. The people we have met so far are very nice and hopefully will be just as nice to work with. Our Dollywood experience a gazzilion years ago was fun and we hope to have a similar experience here.

This park has it's own campground and a designated area for their work campers. Pulling into the work camper section we saw dozens and dozens of RVs and thought "WOW, that is a lot of workcampers!".

Upon closer inspection there were only a handful of work campers  and the rest were RV trailers owned by the park and used mostly for exchange students. Because of Covid 19 it doesn't look like there will be many, if any  exchange students, unless things change drastically.

Since it is a work camper campground it does not have the pristine sites that are in the guest section. Actually there are not too many pristine areas in any parts of the campground since the place has been closed down for 2 years during the pandemic. The winters up here take a toll on outdoor amenities and it is taking a little longer to get the campground up to snuff. Add to that the severe weather they had over the past couple of months and the springtime weather now and things are gowing rapidly and the ground is still a little soft. I found that out the hard way when I cut across the grass while backing into our paved site. All is well, the ruts have been filled in, and the ground has dried up some since we arrived. The sites also only have 30 amp electric hook ups so we can't run both ACs at one time. That shouldn't be a problem since the average highs in the "dog days of summer" are only aound 80 degrees. In Florida 80 degrees is the cusp of deciding between heat and air conditioning. We will survive. We will also have to watch our electric appliance usage because of the 30 amp limitation. Microwave, coffee pot, toaster oven, ice maker, hair dryer, etc.

Well I am going to sign off and get my day started by turning off my under the table space heater (more electric)  now that my toes are warm in our home in upstate New York because.....

Home is where we park it,
