Summer's over

Our summer excursion, up into New England and eastern Canada, has come to an end. Not only has Fall weather arrived but the calendar says so too. We saw quite a few leaves changing colors and starting to fall. The temperature in NY was 10 degrees cooler than in PA. and we got the comforter out for the nights. It was beautiful up there for the Summer and I bet Fall is too.

We left southern Vermont and headed to Southern NY, just outside of Binghamton. The entire area is covered with trees, rolling hills and big farms. Our campground was a former farm and we played some golf on a former farm. But the farms are also set on the sides of the valleys. It is not flat out here. Next stop is just outside of Harrisburg, PA. This is Amish farm country and there are some really big farms, miles of corn and soybeans, hills and Amish. There is no need to go into Lancaster to be in the middle of the Amish culture. It's actually very pretty and peaceful.  Some of the small towns have some very pleasing stone and wood buildings and barns, or quaint main streets. A lot of buildings are originals and kept up very well. Our camp is up in the hills, again weak cell and computer service, twisting and winding roads, and a family camp. That means everyone leaves the cities for a weekend of camping in the "mountains". Lots of golf carts being driven around the camp, up and down the hills. It's a busy place.

When booking our site at the Harrisburg camp, we intended to be there last Friday. But all area camp grounds were full due to the RV show in Hershey, the largest RV show in the country, so they say. So we decided to go, Thur., and it really was pretty big. Miles and miles of RV's to go through. We didn't need to check out everyone or all the types, and the weather didn't cooperate well either, but it was fun. We actually met 4 sales men, with 2 different companies, from Idaho. 2 from Pocatello, and the other 2 from Boise. One actually worked at the RV dealer we bought the ALFA from. Small world. The give away was Bill was wearing his BSU shirt. And others always comment when they see his shirt. Usually something like "did you see that game?" BSU has many fans outside of Idaho. GO BSU!

So now we move to Harrisburg, on Sun, eat up the fridge food, pack, get the trailer readied and stored for a 3 week rest while we go check out things in Scotland. Checking the Scotland weather, I guess we better pack the rain coats.

This blog is rather short and pictureless (is that a word?) but that's all I've got. We hope to be able to post a little in Scotland and pix too. Keep your fingers crossed and we'll write when we get back.
