After a month and a half on the East Coast, we are moving inland at an 
unbelievable rate. Well ok, not more than the speed limit. in fact, while towing a car, we do not exceed 60 mph. But we are moving along anyway. We headed out of Salem on Monday morning and made our way down I-95 to the Massachusetts Turnpike and the New York Thruway. Considering how many tolls we are paying to drive on these roads, they sure do suck. Seven hours of bump, bump, bump later, we pulled into Waterloo, NY and the Waterloo Harbor Campground and what looked at first like a snow storm. It is still spring in much of the East and the cottonwood trees were still shedding their spring seed and there were some big ones in the campground right near us.
Waterloo is near to Seneca Falls, NY in the Finger Lakes region, and we have friends who live very close to this area. Dennis and Debbie DeLorenzo traveled to Keuka Lake from their home in Wayland, NY for lunch. They are members for Shalom Roamers, our new chapter of FMCA and have been coming to Sun’N’Fun for our rallies for a couple of years now. We also attended the FMCA national rally in Perry, GA with then this year. After lunch, we have a great afternoon walking around the small village of Penn Yan, NY.
The same day, our friends Harry and Shelly Katz drove from their home in Ithaca, NY to join us for dinner in Waterloo. Harry is a friend of Ellyn’s that she has known since her High School days. After dinner, we walked in a park along Seneca Lake. That night a storm front moved through with high winds and driving rain. This put an end to the cotton wood trees shedding.
On the second day, we went to the Women’s Rights Nation Historic Park in Seneca Falls. This 
was the location of the first meeting of a group of women who first started the Women’s Suffragette movement in America. We got much needed haircuts and Ellyn got a pedicure. Later, we got the kayaks off the car and put them into the Seneca River at our campground. We then paddled down stream to one of the many locks on the river. This was one of the most exciting kayaking adventures we have had in a long time, going through the lock in both directions before returning to the campground.
Next, off to Canada.
