Last Day in the Adirondacks

Well, this is the longest we've stayed in one place so far. Nine nights/10 days. It's been a good experience. We've learned a lots of do's and don'ts.

Do lots of Internet homework first and read the campground reviews! They have been extremely helpful. Take this place, for example. The owners (hosts) have been great............new owners, and really take pride in their camp. We have been very lucky to have such a nice camping spot (about 1/4 acre site, which is rare).

Do stock up on food before you get to campground. We had to go 25 miles to a WalMart, or an IGA Grocery Store, but it's all a pretty ride, so that's no big deal.

Don't expect to not get cabin fever. It has just set in on us yesterday. We've had a string of rainy days, and combine that with only 3 TV channels, well, you get the drift. We have watched every DVD we own, which isn't many.

DON'T camp too far from civilization. At least a town large enough to have a movie theatre, a haircut and nail salon (I mean really, I never knew there was a town without a nail lady!) We miss the simple things.

DO have the most wonderful husband in the world. He doesn't care if I want to read all day, or veg, or whatever. I really hit the jackpot there!

So, in our last night here, we're taking it easy. We've got clean sheets, and a clean dog and are on the road again tomorrow morning!!

Still miss Jax a lot and will see you all in the early fall!!!!
