One the road to Maine

Got things going today with the drive to Maine. Beautiful day, hot temps and a van totally loaded down - and Judy, Bill and I were off. Made a quick stop in Chagrin Falls to the Ski Hause for a couple of items for my trip. Took I-90 east and made it as far as Oneida Lake in mid New York State, about 6 hours east. Stopped at about 7:30 PM and camped at a wonderful little place called Verona State Park on the shores of Lake Oneida. Awesome sunset over the lake as we sipped beer and wine and dined on some dogs and a caesar salad while sitting lakeside. We had some neighbors who were kind enough to give Bill several pieces of firewood, so we were able to get a small campfire going to take us into the evening. “Skeeters” chased Judy into the van early while Bill and I tipped a few more beers and laughed at the Savage Nation talk radio show – wow, that dude is definitely out there!!
