Delta
Lake State Park, NY Day 3. We woke up to a glorious morning and
prepared to drive the relatively short distance of 120 miles to Delta
Lake State Park.(NY) I turned on Marilyn, the name Faye has given to
the GPS ( its the voice you know) and took I 90 to the Park About 5
miles from our destination we saw the dreaded sign - "Bridge -
9 Foot Height". Well, this posed a minor problem as our RV's are
12 foot. So much for Marilyn's intelligence. Simple maths, even with
todays level of public education told us we were 2 feet short.
Trusting Marilyn, now a dubious faith, we took a right turn into
no-where and continued. A mile or two down the road, another sign,
"Bridge - 10 Foot Height". Well it was getting higher .
Another right turn and went for the ride as a now disgraced Marilyn
murmured instructions - that finally took us to the Park. Blondes
always make in in the end.The Park is very scenic but is "dry".
In RV parlance this means that their is no water connection , no
electric connection and no sewer connection and, horrors, no cable
TV. But the RV has on-board water, special batteries and tanks to
take care of these issues.After a great dinner prepared by the
cooks Faye and Colleen and ably assisted by Barbeque Specialists Dirk
and Henry we discovered that the coach battery of Dirk and Colleen;s
RV was almost totally discharged, a slight problem when all the
systems like lights, water pump, heating system etc are depend on it.
Let's hope the village of ROME, the nearby town has a new battery .
Stay tuned as we discover Rome in the morning. I hope it was built in
more than a day,
