Webster, NY

 

Broke camp this morning in the rain (and a cold rain at that).  Drove I-90 through the little bit of Pennsylvania that was left and then on to the New York State Thruway.  Still not sure how the toll authorities are going to catch up with us.  I guess sooner or later we’ll find out!  Stopped at the New York Welcome Center and picked up a map, then it was on to Webster Campground.   This is a Monroe County campground not far from Lake Erie.  Campground is heavily wooded and the sites are very private.

 

Talked to Tim enroute and he met us at the campsite shortly after we got there.  Set up camp in the rain again – don’t they know it’s supposed to be summer 😊.  After lunch, we three went for a tour of Webster and somehow ended up at the Knucklehead Brewery.  Good beer and conversation.  Kathy joined us later and we went to Ferrari Pizza for dinner.  If it sounds like all we did was eat and drink, that’s not exactly true – close though!

 

After dinner, Kathy and Tim came back to the campground (since we had left our car here).  Campground was almost empty when we arrived shortly after noon; however, now it has pretty much filled up.  Not exactly the type of weather you expect for Memorial Day, but hopefully it will warm up tomorrow.  At the very least, it would help if the rain stopped. 

This post is a little delayed since the campground doesn't have wi-fi, so we're back in a laundromat watching the clothes go around and checking e-mail.

  Quick, what’s the capital of Kansas.   Darn, that was too easy!   We left Scott AFB early this morning and headed west (where else?) on I-70 through St Louis and across Missouri.   Confusing driving through Kansas City (which is actually in Missouri) – too many crossroads and interstates going through that city.   I think we crossed the Mississippi once and the Missouri twice – not sure how that works out.   The Arch in St Louis was pretty in the fog and rain.   Finally half-way across Missouri, the sun came out and we had blue, cloudy skies for the rest of the trip.   Made a side trip on Exit 66 to visit the Cheese Store.   After seeing their advertisements for miles, we thought it would be a good spot to take a break.   Located in a small town, they had a wide selection cheese, wine, Dotty’s pretzels, etc.   We contributed to the local economy and then made our way back to I-70.   It’s fun figuring how where I can turn ...

 Well, when we left Oakley, the wind was blowing fast and furious (what a great name for a TV series).  Anyway, as we traveled west on I-70, we could see plenty of windmills which were taking full advantage of the 40 mph winds.  The town on the Kansas - Colorado border is Kanorado, guess that was better than Colosas - how original!! We had made reservations at Buckley ANG base just northeast of Denver and, we were lucky to get the last spot!  Got all set up and then called Paul and Sandy.  Since Sandy had a conference call at 3 pm, we did some shopping and then went over to their home in Centennial.  Had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather sitting on their patio.  Good conversation, bird-watching, and then dinner.  Always fun to get together.  Might be able to revisit our anniversary celebrations in Monterey in July.  Time will tell.
