Well here it is the end of August. The heat in western New York has been rediculous. This is the kind of heat that made us leave Florida in our rear view mirror! At least it cools down some at night. We have one month to go before we hit the road and as I mentioned in my last blog we are now in the fourth quarter. The park is open for one more full week and then they go to weekends only. That means we will only work two days instead of three or four. To add to the sports analogy, that will be our TWO MINUTE WARNING!!
With five days off we will be able to do more exploring around the area and watch the seasons start to change. It will also give us plenty of time to get the rig ready for traveling. Our trip south will start on or about September 28th and will take a month, with a number of stops along the way, ending at our winter destination in Florida. As much as we have enjoyed our time in upstate New York the travel bug is getting to us and we are developing a case of "hitch-itch".
On another note, we recently took an extra day off to drive over to the Syracuse area to visit an old friend. We grew up together and have known each other since we were two years old. We connected about 25 years ago and decided it had been too long. We had a great visit with Linda and her husband Marty, catching up on old times. We even had time to go to the New York State Fair. Because of the short time to organize because of Covid restrictions there were not a lot of vendors and the crowd was smaller than expected. I assume that many state fairs around the country had similar situations and hopefully things will get better for everyone.
Fourth quarter or not the laundry still needs to get done, food needs to be prepared, and bills need to be paid so I will sign off for now from our home at Darien Lake Amusement Park because.......
Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
