SHUFFLE OFF TO ...........NIAGARA


June 3, 2012

In no time we were out of Ohio into Pennsylvania and then in no time we were in New York traveling on the New York Thruway.  Sadly, they do not take SUNPASS from Florida so we’ll part with cash at our exit....$11.50.

The Thruway is bumpy as one would expect with the frost heaves and road repair budgets.  In fact, throughout this entire trip there haven’t been any decent interstates that are smooth.  Traveling in an MH you feel the road more than by car so that’s probably why I’m noticing it.

The winds blowing across Niagara River were topping out at about 20 mph with gusts higher.  It felt like the MH was going to be blown over.  We reached the toll bridge to cross Niagara River and it went up and up.  As Dave was struggling to get across, I asked if he could stop and take a picture.  He kept right on going so I didn’t get a good picture of the river.

We are staying at The Branches of Niagara RV Resort on Grand Island.  Fortunately as we reached the Grand Island side of the bridge, the skies opened up – fortunately that it wasn’t happening as we were driving up and across the bridge!  The campground is very nice.  Only about ten people here but the weather is not so great. 

It’s hard to believe I’m back in the north again.  Ran down to TOPPS for some groceries and we settled in for the night.
