End of Summer Update

How We Roll

We finally took a week of vacation and came to one of our favorite places, Tuning Stone. We arrived on Sunday after driving the coach and Marcea following in her car, my car decided to have power steering issues that showed up on Saturday. Electric power steering, so it's a go to the dealer situation, but better to have happened at home than have it happen here on vacation.  It's driveable, just like Grandpa's Buick though...

Monday was shopping at Sangertown Mall for some new hiking shoes and grabbing some lunch.  Back at The Villages was a nice evening enjoying the beautiful weather and a warming campfire.

Ducks In A Row

After a full day of rain on Tuesday, relaxing, reading, listening to Sirius/XM, we decided to take the shuttle over to the Casino and have dinner. We ended up at The Forest Grill and had a delicious meal as well as some after dinner cocktails at the bar. We grabbed the shuttle home, it was raining again, the driver dropped us off right at our site.  One of the great perks here, free shuttle!

Pond View

 Yesterday was pretty much a wash too.  The rain was supposed to got through over night but hung in the hills here and finally blew out about 3 yesterday afternoon. We hung in here and had breakfast, read a little then headed out to do some shopping, found a nice little bar and restaurant in Chittenango and did some exploring, like the old Erie Canal Canal Town there. And of course took we a walk on the yellow sidewalks, an homage Lyman Frank Baum, best known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz who was born there.  Had sandwiches for dinner, read some more listening to the radio and relaxing.  It got down in to the 40's last night, the furnace in the motorhome worked great, a nice comfortable night sleeping.  This is camping!

Follow The Yellow Brick

Today dawned sunny, still chilly but it's supposed to warm up in to the 60's.  Off to explore more later, going to check out Rome, and Ft. Stanwix.
