| Loving the sun and nap time. |
Since Friday, June 24th, we have been residing at our NY "home," Croton Point Park. While here, we have relocated a total of three times in order to be in compliance with the new "rules and regs" at the park. This morning, bright and early, George got the ball rolling and we hit the road under beautiful, clear blue skies.
The planning began in February and here we are, July 28th - day 1 of our "3rd Great Big Adventure." First stop will be an overnighter in (or near) Snow Shoe, PA. We will be following Route 80 for the first portion of the trip and eventually drift up to Route 90. Thirteen stops (yes, 13-but if I count in our origination, it's 14) have been penciled in for the westward bound journey. Some are just overnighters and some are extended stays. I'll blog when time and connectivity permit.
Our time spent at Croton Point had been busy and hectic with many visits with friends, family and doctors. We love staying here for its close proximity to the three reasons just stated, and besides, it's one of Lucy's favorite places for birding, seeing familiar dogs and permitting visits from people she likes (and has come to like even more during this trip). In addition to the birds, this park offers a beautiful river, lush, green foliage and magnificent sunsets. It's the best place to call "home" in the area. We checked out the next-closest campground, Sylvan Lake, and were significantly underwhelmed. Our fingers will be crossed that a site will be available in Croton when we return in October.
Our itinerary has been updated and uploaded under the tab marked, "2016 Journey." Just click there if you are interested to know where we are or where we will be headed next.
Stay tuned....

| "The Last Supper," before leaving for the west coast. Take out by myself, but good! |
I always get my "doggie" fix with my three Croton canine friends pictured below. With their owner out of commission after having knee surgery, I was afforded the opportunity to get in abit of exercise by helping out with walking duties. My other "doggie" friend, Georgia, wasn't around much during our recent stay, but I did get to see her and get a nice wet kiss on the lips before leaving!

Deep though for the day: Days, although they can seem long at times, actually flicker by quicker than a lightening bug on a hot summer evening. Now you see me - now you don't. ~ vc
