A mere 152 miles today along roller coaster, winding roads. Lots of construction giving these very in-need roads a major overhaul.
Once we arrived at the campground we set out to get the lay of the land. Too late to do much today, so we will make a plan for tomorrow. We took a ride to the River Walk and the Lakefront and took in the beauty. There are many oil wells along our route with evidence of drilling.
We decided to have a snack at the casino and chose the Big Lake Dining for some BBQ. We chose the brisket nachos. Very tasty, but very much missing the brisket!
Couldn’t pass up a bit of the slots 🎰 and I won a whopping $10…woohoo!
It was a beautiful Saturday and time to hit that River Walk. It was a very nice stroll along the marina on the riverfront walkway. The main street above the riverfront is a haven for those wanting to shop and dine. I wanted to check out a highly recommended pub that is so popular it actually made the brochure for Manistee “things to do.” We were greeted by a very friendly bartender. It was mid afternoon and the crowd was small. We had a watermelon cider that we enjoyed so much that we went away with a growler. We learned something new…a growler is a 32 ounce handle. We have cider to enjoy and a momentous of this cute bar!
With much light left to the day we headed to a bird sanctuary that was a short drive away. The trails were labeled to teach about the many indigenous and non-indigenous trees and flowers. It was really nice. Across the street was another part of the sanctuary that was a lot of narrow paths, hills, steps and bridges…we absolutely got a good workout!

Highway 31S is one of the most horrendous roads we have traveled. It needs so much in the way of repair. After more than a half hour of lumps and bumps the road smoothed out and things were better once turning onto the Blue Star Highway. We are now back to country roads and corn fields…along with fields of gorgeous pine trees. We pass through many small towns by using these roadways and one, in particular, that was about 45 minutes from today’s destination is Saugatuck. The downtown area was littered with very unique and eclectic shops, cafes and restaurants.
We thought we would head back to check out the area until we ran into…yep…road work! We will find something else to entertain ourselves.
Little did we know Jellystone was kid haven! The day is simply beautiful at 75* and no humidity! We opened windows and enjoyed the breeze. Kids are everywhere! There’s everything and anything a kiddo could want or need! A pool, bouncers, bikes, trikes, Yogi Bear himself, and a store that no parent would want to bring their child into!!! Yikes! So much stuff for them to ask to buy, including goodies for a great sugar high! There are activities galore and today we saw them setting up for Christmas in July!
The park has an assortment of sites and cabins from which to choose. Some are also set up as multi-family sites with a large fire pit and Adirondack chairs all around. This place is so very nicely set up. There are strict rules about bringing in your own wood so we ordered a couple of bundles ($13.00) and set up the fire pit!
Barry had his sights set on visiting the dunes at Indiana Dunes State Park just over an hour south of Jellystone. Off we went! Entrance to the park and beach, $12. The beach is huge….3 miles long and the sandy beach area was very wide. People are on vacation, so no matter the weather, they will be there! It was a dreary, cool but humid day. The park also can accommodate campers (no vacancy today). Barry eavesdropped on a guide speaking with another visitor and he recommended trail 8 for a mile and a half trek. He said nothing about climbing 176 feet, pretty much straight up hill, and being chewed by mosquitoes 🦟 for spectacular views! Mt. Jackson is 176 feet above Lake Michigan…with spectacular views…in my opinion not so much, unless you like looking at tree tops! We can say we climbed the dunes!
We took Routes 20 and 12 on our way back with the hopes of getting to see some of the towns rather than highway. We came across the very sad Michigan City 🙁. What once was, we think, a very prosperous town has been brought to its knees. Nothing is opened and nearly every business gone! We stopped at one of the restaurants still opened. Bridges Restaurant was on a river along side a rusty, in need of care bridge. The place was filled to capacity, with a great turnover. The food and service was great! Next to the restaurant was the Bridge Inn…an adorable motel with only eight rooms overlooking the river.
There are help wanted signs everywhere!
On our way back to the park we passed through New Buffalo and St. Joseph. Beautiful, upscale towns and heavily patronized by a lot of people shopping and dining.
Could not resist a stop at Braden Farm Market. Loved it! Wonderful produce, preserves, ice cream and a bakery section. Everything grown on their farm or produced by local companies. Farm fresh corn, peppers, limes, a yummy loaf of crusty, seeded bread and a Asiago dip will find their way back to the RV for us to devour. Last stop…Meijer(pronounced Meyer). They are found throughout Michigan and we really like this chain store. Great produce and meat, huge selection of wine, beer, and booze and much anything else one would want from cosmetics to pharmaceuticals and automotive! One-stop shopping 😁.
Another campfire evening so the mosquitoes can have their way with me 😩.

All the roads we traveled today had their fare share of crappiness! I 31 being the worst, followed by I 80. Lots of construction, traffic brought to one lane of travel and tons of trucks! I will say there were actually workers working to make repairs. Throw in a few torrential down pours and that was our four hours of travel today. Indiana and Ohio both are home to beautiful farms. Lots of corn, soy and wheat fields.
Twin Acres is off the beaten path with not much around the vicinity, but it’s very quaint minus the owner’s residence which is absolutely gorgeous and stately. There are many mobile homes around the perimeter for seasonal stays, plenty of choices for activities including fishing and swimming in the pond, and every gravel/grass site has a picnic table and fire ring.
Once again the basement compartments carpeting…soaking wet from all the rain today. Barry went on the hunt and returned with a small shop vac and sucked quite a bit of water from the compartments. There’s no hope of things actually drying out today with periodic incoming rain showers…and, here comes another!…and 95% humidity. Tomorrow promises a better day…no rain and lots of sunshine! A campfire tonight isn’t looking like a happening 😩.
Dismal morning, but we got out for a walk. This park is quite large with lots of seasonal camper. Not much happening here; all is pretty quiet.
The weather improved by noon. All of the compartments are emptied, including the tool boxes PU compartment…also wet! I used the shop vac to dry that one while Barry attempts to fix our Whirlpool oven that won’t go above 350*. We had a new thermistor delivered here for an attempt at a repair. After three hours of grueling work not meant to be done in an installed unit the oven still will only register at 375*. Manufacturing flaw? Perhaps. No pizza/calzone cooking in that oven and additional cooking time for other food requiring a higher heat…which I have already experienced ☹️. Quite the day…
After all that BS we decided to take a ride and check out service stations advertising decent diesel prices…like $3.09 for diesel! Whoo hoo! Surveillance of the area…meh…not worth the detours and the $10 savings.
We each had a Greek salad topped with gyro meat at Route 64 Pub and Grub on Route 64 on our way back to the RV. Delicious, huge salad with an abundance of gyro meat…$9.99. What a bargain! Tonight was buy one get one burgers and fries. The table next to us ordered that…we almost wished we ordered that! They looked sooooo good. We took the almost healthy route this evening.
We had a short-lived campfire, with a visit from annoying mosquitoes 🦟🦟🦟 and retired for the evening. Damn mosquitoes!

East and north today…I 80 E was mostly a decent 86 mile ride. 480 E, on the other hand, proved itself to be terrible especially over bridges…25 miles of terrible lumps and bumps. I could “feel” things on the RV coming loose 🙀🙀🙀. Road construction is everywhere and we are cruising by it all. Next we moved onto I 471 N and a better. 90 N had its fair share of crappie pot holes, also. I need a cocktail 🍸.
We arrived at Kenisee early afternoon. The walkway up to the office was full of mud and the grass was extremely soggy 🤔. Not a great welcome. The woman in the office was not at all friendly. She showed me our site on the map and it was a back-in against the woods. When I made the reservation I was told along the lake was available, as I requested. Well, not today ☹️ and without even looking she said, “there’s probably nothing available there and she puts you where you fit.” Fine, whatever…it’s for two nights. The site was $54 plus $3 for 50 amp. We paid the extra because we want 50 amp. The internet is $5.95/day for 5 megabytes…so they can keep their internet and we will use our hotspot. There’s a gate at the entrance and I was told, “I’ll open it once cause you are in a motor home, after that here’s the code.” Good Lord! She never opened the gate, so I did it for us…with the code. The roads are full of pot holes, which are full of water and our site was no better. Wet dirt. At the rear of the site is a large trench of standing water which is a great breading ground for those mosquitoes 🦟 so near and dear to my heart. I think I’ll need two cocktails 🍹. We are not loving this place. The picnic table and the fire ring are right by that trench…no grilling and no campfire 🔥.
There are several wineries in this county, with Ferrante Winery being one of the top rated so we headed there. The building and the grounds were simply outstanding! Lol, but that’s where it ended 😩. We chose three different flights of wine, and out of the 18 samples truly there was not one that either of us felt was worthy of a full glass. We also ordered the Asiago and spinach dip and Italian bread. Oily dip and awful bread. Another bust for the day to the tune of $60!
There was some beautiful scenery along the to and from; gorgeous homes on large handsomely manicured lawns and gardens. A few had large ponds, also. We drove through a one-lane, covered bridge that spanned across a dam. Not quite sure the purpose of the pond, other than something very pretty to gaze upon. It is a very nice area!
We took a spin around the campground when we returned and saw a exactly what goes on here. If you are seasonal or long-term you are rewarded with the sites on the water or even a neatly appointed, interior, gravel lot with railroad tie boarders with tables and chairs. The transients are relegated to the dregs. One more day and we will be gone.
After dinner and a torrential downpour we set out for a walk along the now water-filled, pot hole roads. And, watch out! Did I mention there are dozens of geese that also reside on the property and leave presents for everyone to step in?? Well, yes, they do! It was quite the walk dodging puddles and poop 💩.
I spent much of last evening and a good part of this morning looking for a reservation in/near Bar Harbor, Maine much to my disappointment. Barry planned a three day stay at Bar Harbor Campground which doesn’t take reservations. Reviews from last year (only one from 2021) assured us there would not be any issues getting in due to their 300+ site campground. The more we see the more we know campgrounds are full! I’m growing very uneasy about not having a reservation…and hoping for the best. So I called/emailed over a half dozen parks in the Bar Harbor area only to be turned away. Yikes! My gut tells me we are going to be turned away from that first come, first served campground. I did find one, but with no sewer…nope. I told her I’d make a few more calls and possibly call back. And her response was, “and it might still be available when you do.” I believed that to be true. My next call to Narrows Too was successful. This campground has over 500 sites available. After our booking only three others were available for 7/25-7/28. I am so relieved, even at a whopping $104.33/night. I know we have a place to stay, and a shot in the dark will never be an option in the future. Too stressful!
I saw a recommendation for, Mesopotamia, about 30 minutes away for some time to spend in Amish country. Along the way we saw more oil well sites, but none pumping. Beautiful country roads, most very nicely paved, brought us to End of the Commons General Store and an old-fashioned fueling station. FUN! This store has something for everyone and was teaming with visitors! Lots of bulk items, kitchenwares, candy, toys, ice cream, fudge, a deli and a grill serving made-to-order sandwiches, burgers and pizza. There’s every and any pickled item one could ask for and they also make their own peanut butter. There’s a cooler the length of an entire wall home to lots and lots of different sodas, of which I have never heard! In a separate area you can shop for produce and other market items. We had so much fun browsing and buying! So many people at the grill waiting to order so we moved on to Mary Yoder’s Amish Kitchen. It was hopping! Not too many choices in the area…this is the country! The menu was extensive and the food delicious. We chose broasted chicken with creamy mashed potatoes and yummy roasted veggies. The restaurant is attached to a gift shop with many trinkets from which to choose. This small town, just a few miles away from Mesopotamia, is true Amish country…quite a few horse and buggies, walkers and some on scooters, dressed in their proper attire share the road with the many cars. Strangely enough, it did not matter the weather (dismal and drizzle today) laundry hung on many clothes lines and many from hangers on lines strung across their front porch. Could Friday be laundry day 🤷♀️🤔?
From here we moved onto a Lake Erie observation tower in Perry. We climbed the 82 stairs to the top for magnificent lakefront views in overcast skies. Our drive to the last stop of the day was right along the Lake where we saw some spectacular homes that certainly had amazing views.
Geneva on the Lake is a seasonal town and absolutely overrun with tourist-trap shopping, restaurants and bars. Quite a few of the bars had live music outside surrounded by picnic tables and umbrellas! Also offered were a couple of arcades attracting lots of kids. There was one open winery, also offering dining and views of the lovely Lake Erie. It would be a fun place to spend a couple of days in one of the rental choices on the lakefront.
The rain is relentless. We had a bit of sunshine early evening, but we listen to the pitter patter on the roof at 10 PM. I am praying for a dry travel day tomorrow. 🙏

It was a very gloomy day and we drove in a bit of drizzle for our 212 mile run today on
I 90 eastbound. The roads were mostly decent today. About half and hour before reaching our destination the heavens opened. Our hopes of having dry basement compartments just went down the tubes! We have gone from corn fields as far as the eye can see to vineyards as far as the eye can see. Pretty views, even with overcast skies.
AA Royal is right on the main Road…Niagara Falls Blvd. The campground is nothing to speak of and has absolutely no curb appeal. All of the sites are paved with grass in between, so that’s a definite plus with all the rain. This is more of a transient stop and go for people wanting to see the Falls.
Once the rain ended we wanted to make a Wegmans run. But, across the street we noticed Pellicano’s Marketplace, so we popped in to check it out! What a great Italian-inspired store, but we knew we would have better luck knocking out our list at Wegman’s. Barry has been searching in every market we go in to for Jax corn curls (a past time favorite of his) and this store has them!!! We will be back!
Before going to Wegmans we took a cruise to the Niagara River where we could see Canada from the shoreline. Very cool! There’s some serious flooding going on around here. Rivers are flooded, some docks are nearly under water, and many streets and yards have standing water that the ground cannot absorb.
Wegmans is a huge supermarket. It has a fabulous bakery that tempted us so! A cheese and olive section with a very large selection making it very hard to just pick one! Sushi is made fresh daily. There’s a prepared food section…take and go. Beer and wine! There’s even a large section for kitchen ware, including dishes and flatware. And, they also have Jax! The store is amazing and I LOVE it! Back to the RV for fresh fettuccine with shrimp, broccoli and black olives aioli.
Today was Maiden of the Mist day…and I wish it wasn’t Sunday! The traffic as we neared Niagara Falls State Park was horrible. Tickets were bought and paid for (25.25/pp), so no turning back! We finally made it to the parking lot ($15) then took the short walk to join the mobs of others doing the same. The lines snaked around and around turnstiles and just when you thought you were just about there…nope! The lines continued on, and on, and on. We stood in line, creeping along for 1-1/2 hours. One we finally reached the top of the stairs we caught our first glimpse of the Falls!! Amazing views 🤩🤩. More turnstiles! We were then herded into elevators that take you down to the dock, and yes, more turnstiles and lines. Everyone is handed a big blue poncho that covers your entire body. Onto the boat! We ended up on the top deck…Barry was thrilled 😁! It’s a short, 20 minute ride. You absolutely get up close and personal with the cascades of falling water. It was well worth getting a bit moist for the thrill of it all 😊.
On the other side of the Falls, of course, is Canada…closed to visitors. The bridge has absolutely no traffic going or coming. Their boats making alternating boat runs with USA were full…of Canadians and the lines to get on the boat were minimal.
The areas in and around North Tonawanda and Niagara are devastated. Almost every restaurant and business is closed. We drove down Pine Ave, Little Italy, and almost every single restaurant and business were closed. Only a few people were walking the street, and they were not there to see the sights. We wonder how long ago Little Italy was actually Little Italy…so sad.
We drove back to North Tonawanda to attempt entrance to Olympia, highly recommended and packed to the brim when we passed by this morning. It was 3:30…they were closing at 4 today, so refused us entry. There was also a sign outside…closed every Monday until further notice due to help shortage. We see this everywhere.
We stopped back in Pellicano’s Marketplace, picked up a few items and dropped them off at the RV.
Back to dinner options. Next was BBQ….when we arrived it was closed! Finally…just over the bridge we find Dockside Bar and Grill. The parking lot was loaded with cars and people were streaming in and out. It was a great spot right on a river. We managed a high top on the outside deck with great views of the river and a lot of boat traffic and canoes. People were absolutely enjoying their Sunday. Food and views, along with our attentive server…all good!

Three hours of heavenly roadways today. I 90, I 81, and then the 10 miles of beautiful country roads, with stunning views, leading to the campground were just wonderful 😊.
Lots more huge corn fields were seen here and there along our drive. And, on the road nearing the campground a few large dairy farms and McDonald’s Farm petting zoo!
The Willows is a good-size campground directly on Lake Ontario. There are many seasonal sites close to the water. The owners, Ron and Lynn, are very sweet people who take great pride in what they have here. Not much for amenities but they do offer a camp store, a gazebo and a few gliders right on the Lakefront. There’s also an area for swimming, if interested. The Lake water is very clear, but the bottom is rocky…good sole, water shoes rocky! Our site, #12, was fabulous! This is the most spacious site we have had so far. It’s a gravel pad, but the amount of grassy area on either side of the RV is nothing like we have ever been afforded in our travels. The privacy is supreme!
Just a bit before the campground is Westscott Beach State Park. $8 will get you entry to enjoy beautiful a beautiful beach on the Lakefront! Great park with lots of spots, some beach front, for tent and RV camping. Across the road from this park entrance is an additional camping area on the Plateau Loop at very high altitudes. Up there we also found cabins, big cabins, with splendid Lake views, all waiting to be enjoyed by families on their summer vacation.
About 20 minutes away Sackets Harbor is full of history from the 1812 War. Barry was in heaven. This self-guided tour along Lake Ontario was a very pretty stroll and history review all in one. The village itself is very easy on the eyes. A few restaurants, an art gallery and several circa 1800 homes that have been meticulously maintained. It was a great stop!
We are in such a rural area that we wanted to see where people shop. Watertown is about a 15 minute drive. Watertown is HUGE! Every and any thing one could want, need or desire is here for the asking. This is a very nice part of NY state…rural, historical and city…all wrapped in one!
Today was a big day!! We took the nearly one-hour drive north to Alexandria Bay. It’s a very quaint, one-street village with the typical “tourist traps”, a few restaurants and lots of accommodations for visitors.
Our visit here was to hop on Uncle Sam Boat Tours to view the 1000 Islands ($26/pp) and hopefully enjoy the buffet ($14.51/pp). It was a 2 1/2 hour narrated tour on the St. Lawrence River. Our young tour guide was very well versed on these islands and was extremely informative! We learned so much about how they get electricity and phone service by under water cable (and how very expensive that ordeal is), water and how they dispose of waste. There are actually 1864 islands. To qualify it must have over one square foot, must be out of the water year-round and support at least one living tree. The largest is Wolfe Island with a population of 1400. On the other end of the spectrum is Just Enough Room and just big enough for a single tiny home and a couple of benches.
Optional was a self-guided walking tour of Boldt Castle on Heart Island. ($11/pp). After the boat tour most of us disembarked onto Heart Island. Absolutely stunning, this island was purchased by George Boldt as Hart Island. He changed the spelling and decided to build a castle for his beloved wife, Louise. George Boldt, immigrated to NYC at 13 and worked his way to the top as a self-made millionaire and proprietor of the famous Waldorf Astoria. In 1900 the endeavor of the castle and five other outer buildings were in the process of being built, four years in the making, while the family stayed on Wellesley Island. Three hundred workers, stonemasons, carpenters and artists fashioned the six story, 120 room castle complete with tunnels, a powerhouse, gardens, a drawbridge and a dovecote. In 1904 Louise died of heart failure due to tuberculosis. George telegrammed the crew to cease work on the castle because he could not imagine himself there without Louise. He never stepped foot on the island again. For 73 years the island sat idle and was vandalized by vandals and also left to the mercy of the weather. In 1977 The Thousands Islands Bridge Authority assumed possession and has been working ever since to restore the castle, outer buildings and the Island to preserve Boldt’s legacy. Millions of dollars have been spent to rehabilitate the structures of Heart Island and the Boldt Yacht House on Wellesley Island. As of right now this work-in-progress has restored the first and second floors, along with the Italian gardens. The third floor rooms are bare and still show signs of the vandalism. One of the rooms still has items purchased and shipped from other countries in the original shipping crates. Above the third floor is a loft and an observation deck. It was an amazing walking tour of a beautiful place!
We grabbed the next boat back to Alexandria Bay just in time…the sky turned black and the heavens opened! We had torrential rains and lightning all the way back to the RV!

Very gloomy weather as we venture on to our next stop, #25. Thankfully, is just overcast and cloudy…no rain today…yay! Every road we traveled today made everyone very happy…including the bird 🦜. We ended our run with I 81, then just a few short miles on 781 E and then 127 miles on US 11 N. We traveled long and winding country roads, passed many livestock farms, more corn fields, and horses and buggies. Of course, dollar stores are everywhere, and along our route there was no shortage. Everything is spread far apart, so if you like solitude the Adirondacks is for you…as long as you are okay with possibly a huge wind turbine in view. There are many! What there is not many of would be gas stations, and diesel in particular. Finally, about an hour before we ended today’s travels, and getting below 1/4 of a tank, Mountain Mart was our only option…easy in and out. Not everywhere that has diesel are options for this big rig.

The GPS guided us onto 190 E and 16 miles down this road we happily called it a day at Twin Ells. Mostly seasonal campers stay here. There are about 8 sites for transients, all pull through with full hook ups on grassy pads. And, for $27/night, it works! We asked for a site not under a tree so we could use satellite, but there are still some close enough to block the signal 😩.
It’s Thursday and Ausable Chasm day! Located in Keeseville, it’s was a 30 minute drive from the campground and promised to be the Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks. They offer several different options for the many opportunities available to include tubing, rappelling, rock climbing and cable expansion bridges. Barry and I chose the Classic Tour ($34.95/pp) for the approximate one-mile, scenic trail along the fenced edge of the chasam and waterfalls. It was a great workout with its up and down paths along with some stairs thrown in for good measure 😁. Also there are quite a few overlook decks for some great picture opportunities. We finally reach the entrance to the raft deck, and woah…the line snaked around with at least 300 people waiting before us. At this point it was 12:15. At least we had some nice scenery to enjoy while we inched along the pathway up and down the stairs…lots of stairs are involved in this adventure. We watched as the rafts were let down from the top of the Chasm by winch after it’s return from a river run. There were 5 or 6 guides working the repeated steps it takes to get each raft loaded with the hopeful onlookers awaiting their turn. After at least an hour and a half it’s our turn to hop in a raft. Everyone gets a life jacket and a brief tutorial on how to paddle…yes, it was a everyone-involved type of ride! This was all done on a raft on the deck. Next we are led down another flight of stairs and onto an awaiting raft. With our guide sitting on the back of the raft…we are off! We started out floating along quite nicely then came around a corner and stopped for a bit of instruction to pass through a bit of rapids running fairly fast…it was lots of fun! We turned the next corner and we were done! What!!! 😩 For me…disappointing. All that wait time for less than a ten minute ride. But, we got to see this beautiful attraction, got in a great bit of exercise and it was a gorgeous day in the mid 70’s. We opted for the trolley ride back to the welcome center and headed out.
With lunch/dinner in order I found a great restaurant on the water in Plattsburgh not to far from the Chasm. Naked Turtle Holding Co. is at a marina that is directly on Lake Champlain, receiving splendid reviews. It did not disappoint! There were gorgeous views to enjoy while dinning…absolutely stunning! We were seated on the deck outside, overlooking the water. Our server’s attention to us and details, along with choices of fish tacos and taco salad were all a perfect ending to a fun-filled, delightful day. Till next time!
