On Our Way!

We are on our way! Started our new life adventure October 8, heading for Arrowhead Marina & Campground. Always amazes me the difference in traffic as leaving New Jersey. Once we got into New York State it thinned out quite notably. New Jersey has a lot to offer but it is just too congested at any time of day, and when in a RV, man, do you experience it at a different level. Once again we get to experience the convenience of a home on wheels come lunch time and necessity stops. There's a rightness to being able to pull over at a service center or rest stop, make a couple of sandwiches and have a relaxing lunch.

Have to add I love our new Garmin GPS, not only can you plug in the dimensions of your RV and a route will be determined based on those keeping you from roads, tunnels, bridges not suitable, but, I get to watch a mini motorhome going along on a purple road, hehehe.

Arrowhead Marina & Campground was a great two day stopover.

Quiet without a lot of amenities but everything you need. Nicely spaced sites, well maintained, friendly staff and clean bathhouse with good hot water. It is located in Glenville, NY, section of Schenectady, right on the Mohawk River. making it a perfect stopover spot while heading up the New York Thruway. Beautiful, the park had Adirondack Chairs and picnic table for our use. Lunch and coffee overlooking the river yeah this is the life.

Took our Ebikes out for a spin, oh I like these. You can pedal away and then when you need just a burst of extra power to get up that hill, turn the throttle and YES! I can tell we are going to appreciate them. They go up to 20 mph and you can get 20 to 40 miles per charge depending on how much you rely on the battery. I like that you can just pedal getting some good exercise in.

Also took a nice long walk and wound up in a lovely park on the other side of the river. Entertaining note, It's Woolly Bear Caterpillar time and we must have seen a dozen black and brown ones as well as a number of beige to orange ones. Spent our time coming back across the bridge removing many from the concrete divider and pulling them back fin the grass/brush areas. Our good deed for the day!

Little side note: If one can forecast the winter by the coloration of Woolly Caterpillars then New York in for a Warm, Mild, Severe, Cold winter LOL. Those bands of color were all sizes.

Great start to our new life journey.
