| Plattsburgh, NY, Sunday, February 6 |
On Sunday last Marie and I drove down to Plattsburgh, New York and got on board an Aliegant flight to St Petes, Florida. We spent a night with Dee and John in Land O' Lakes where we had a great BBQ and watched the Superbowl together, picking up the camper they had been looking after for us, then driving it up to Brooksville to spend a night with Mom and Dad. Our third night we stayed with Lyn and Don, meeting one of his old Air Force buddies from the west coast and then headed back up north Wednesday morning. When we left Brooksville that morning catching the I-95, we got as far as The Oaks campground in Yemassee, Georgia, not far from Savannah. From there we continued on up through South and North Carolina, stopping at the South Forty camp resort in Petersburg, Virginia, just south of Richmond. The weather was getting to be a bit nippy and it was cold that night but our propane heater kept us cozy and warm. We left early to get through the madhouse of Washington, Philadelphia and NYC, catching the 287 (NY Thruway) to the I-87 and stopping our last night on the road south of Albany. It was dark when we called it a night, the snow was rather deep and we didn´t think we would have any luck finding an open campground, so decided to treat ourselves to a hotel in the little town of Newburgh, in the Catskills.

From there the following morning it was another 6 hours to home, the drive through the beautiful Adirondacks always a pleasure and relaxing. The old van ran like a new vehicle and we now have to decide if it is time to sell her while she still works, or keep her and fix her up for another few years. Stay tuned for further updates!
