Day Twenty-three - June 2nd

Short Hop

This morning we leisurely broke camp and set our faces toward Le Roy, NY. We had breakfast in Frewsburg at the locals frequented “Dinner Bell” restaurant. Good breakfast!

It was our decision to take a scenic route as we were only 120 miles from our destination. The drive was beautiful as we meandered through the rural Southern Tier of New York. Bucolic was the adjective for the day as we passed many dairies and farms. The quaint villages were interesting architecturally as we spied many old large homes with steeples, turrets, and stained glass windows.

Our daily disaster did little to dampen our enjoyment of this beautiful day. By the way, it was in the 70’s with a bright sun radiating out of a very blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. We loved riding with all the windows down and the refreshing breeze ruffling our hair. Oh yeah, the disaster; as we went over a railroad crossing our bike rack on the rear of the fifth-wheel self-destructed resulting in our bicycles dragging along behind us. Having the windows opened allowed the sound of our tragedy to reach our ears. Not too much worse for wear, we dismounted the bikes from what was left of the rack and put them inside the camper for the remainder of our drive.

Our campsite is rustic but lovely. We are sited atop a steep hill with our windows overlooking the campground and out into the vale. The front door opens out to thick woods some twenty feet away. The site is shaded and cool, very private, and we are quite pleased. The wireless internet works well so we are not isolated technologically but we receive one channel, only, on our television as there is no cable.

Tomorrow presents several challenges as we will be off to Camping World in search of a new tire for the trailer as well as a new rack to transport the bikes. This establishment is like the Mecca of the RV world. No doubt, we will discover a few other items that we “really, really” need to complete our inventory of nomadic necessities.

We, at this hour, are tired, well fed, and relaxed. “Americas Got Talent” is the only offering on the Tube but it is always good for a laugh. Good night and best wishes to all.
