Day 12 – (08/27) Change of Plans … Verona, NY

We woke up early and hit the road before 9am.  It was partly sunny and calm early in the day. 

We traveled 199 miles west into NY.  The route was: south on VT 100 from Weston to Londonderry, west on VT 11 to Manchester, south on VT 7 to NY, NY 7 to I-90 at Albany, and then west on I-90 to Verona.  Hopefully, we’re on the western edge of the storm.

We were on I-90 for about 1 ½ hours.  Carol counted 150 electric company repair vehicles heading east in about an hour.  They traveled separately and in convoys of up to six trucks.

We’re staying at The Villages at Turning Stone Campground for the next three days.  It’s very nice here and we’re close to the Turning Stone Casino.  Both are operated by the Oneida Indian Nation.  You could say this change of plans may turn into quite a gamble.

Cloud cover moved in this afternoon.  We have to move to another location tomorrow because the place is full ...  many of the residents escaped here from the east coast.  Hopefully we won't have to move in stormy weather.

Here are a few pictures of our current campsite.

We had dinner (hamburger, fries and Coke) at the Turning Stone Casino & Resort and donated $10 to their electronic games of chance.
