Day 14 – (08/29) Verona, NY (Day 3)

What a difference a day makes!  It’s sunny and there’s a light breeze.

The move from VT to here on Saturday has really paid off.  The area where we camped in VT on Friday appears to be cut off by highway closures today.  Even I-90 (NY Thruway) has been closed in our area.  Travel east or north seems unwise right now.  We’re staying put today hoping conditions will stabilize.

We drove to Rome (NY) and were treated to a tour of Fort Stanwix National Monument.  It is known as “the fort that never surrendered”.  We learned how the American victory at this frontier fort directly contributed to the British defeat at Saratoga in 1777.  Sorry, no pictures.

This campground has been a great place to stay.  The large sites, the landscape, their services and staff are exceptional.  Here’s a short tour …
