A Rainy Saturday

We thought seriously about making our pilgrimage to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown today, but decided we were better off waiting until Monday. Given that was a rainy Saturday, the odds were fairly good that anyone in the area cooped up with energetic kids would probably think it was a good alternative for them as well. So we decided to wait.

We were out of both milk for Forry's cereal (he just doesn't like to use my Greek yogurt, even though I keep offering to share with him...) and orange juice, so we decided we'd find a grocery store. And besides, I was too shook up yesterday helping to get us out of there, to get a picture of that darn overpass!

Today I very carefully looked for signs on both sides of Depot Road (and also where we turned on to it) to see if there was any warning anywhere of what was coming up --


This was the ONLY sign! And you can see where it is placed!


As we were driving find the milk, we went down another road that had a 10.0 foot overpass! And it had no warning signs either! I'm really surprised that these counties in New York haven't been sued.

This is the entrance to Frosty Acres RV and Camping Resort. Like everything else we've seen in this humid country, anything iron seems to immediately rust --


The entrance to Frosty Acres is up a pretty steep hill on a one-lane narrow road. I drove up ahead of Auntie Violet yesterday, then blocked the top to make sure no one started down while she was coming up -- we didn't need any more excitement!

 

We are parked in the open area of the park. There is this open grassy area and then lots of sites that are under the trees. Like the last couple of campgrounds we have been at, the grass is supersaturated and VERY soggy from all of the rain lately. We have good satellite access, so we were able to watch the Mariners last night with their record-tying No Hitter Shut Out game using six different pitchers, beating the Dodgers 1-0.


The little grocery we stopped at had a bakery case filled with local goodies. I brought home a couple of these Red Velvet Yogurt Cupcakes. Paired with a cup of tea, they made a wonderful rainy afternoon treat.

  1. Those short overpasses would give me nightmares! The only time that happened to us was in Kimball, NE. Hwy 71 has a low one right in town. We had to detour over a dirt road. We are 13' 9". Scary!
