in Breast Cancer #1

NO cell service to speak of-nor text or ONLINE....we did break down when we were almost to the campground-luckily enough service to text family (waiting for us at same campground to come rescue us)

All and all ...trip was great once we arrived...i had my three grandskids (7, 10 and 11 mths) and their aunt (our youngest)

 

fun times skiing, tubing, fishing, kayaking, canoeoing, biking etc..

    A lot of last week was

    A lot of last week was beautiful here in CNY.  I am sure it was there, too.  Was it chilly up there, at least nights? 

    What do you use for your accommodations?  Some families use a combo of RV and tents.  Some just use several tents.  Some have enough space in their camper/RV that all can sleep there.

    Which settlement were you near?

    we have a small camper

    we have a small camper (SLIDES in the pick up truck bed) small and compact-boys and hubby slept in there and I slept on the ground in tent with 11mth old grandduaghter-since she slept in pack and play. Yes it was chilly but not bad-we camp not RV per say..we cook outside, eat and wash dishes outdoors...for the most part...walk or bike to showers and to get water..NO HOOK UPS...electiric/ water etc..(we only camp in state parks-no lucturies)

    I lived on the Mojave Desert

    I lived on the Mojave Desert for a few yesrs when I was growing up.  I do live in central NY.  

    Between the ages of birth to 22, I lived in NY, CA, MD, SC, and then back to NY.  So, sometimes for user names nd such, I pull from my past.

    No electricity

    that's why we don't stay at DEC parks, just the NYS ones. we've visited parks from Letchworth to Fair Haven, in the Finger Lakes and southern tier. We have a camper with a king sized bed. Hubby, me and the dogs all sleep in comfort!
