Customer Service is everything! Sometimes the unexpected happens, and it can be stressful! Kudos to the following campgrounds – when we had a medical emergency they were SO understanding about cancelling and refunding money – they showed that they truly cared about their campers and not just making money. Otter Lake Camping, Pennsylvania, KOA Cape Hatteras, and Twin Grove RV Resort, Pennsylvania. We might not have made it this time, but because of your excellent customer service, we will definitely make sure we get to your campgrounds soon and will send our friends!

Green Lakes State Park, near Syracuse, New York

The 2014 Summer Adventure begins!  5 weeks with a big loop down to North Carolina!  First stop is Green Lakes State Park, Fayetteville, New York.  It is a gorgeous little town to dirve through, with beautiful homes and shops.   

Nice, big grassy sites.  We were in Rolling Hills - site 106, higher up and farther from the beach, but big, grassy sites.

Green Lakes State Park - nice sites for the big rigs!


Will - the lake is a gorgeous green colour because of the calcium cabronate.  There were lots of places to bike - big hills!  There is a giant lake to walk around and a nice beach.  Mom's great idea to walk around the lake - long walk!  Tonnes of joggers and walkers.

No ticks to be seen - thank goodness!   Lots of blackberries though which involved jumping into the bushes.

Even teensagers like pigging out on blackberries!
Very sweet tow vehicle!  Much better on the hills of New York and Pennsylvania!     Headed south now - time to find the hot weather!  only about 70 in New York!



What the heck?  In Canada, diesel is the cheapest gas -cheaper than regular -  here it is the most expensive!  $4.25/gallon - who would have thought?
