Departed the campground and took a "Roller Coaster" ride for the first hour before connecting to a major road.
Charlotte had to have "one more kick at the can"; so we stopped at Smuckers again.
Travelling was fine in the sunshine. I made a stop at the Camping World near Buffalo (Hamburg, NY). No luck - the item I wanted is only available at all stores by special order.
The NY Thruway (I-90) is a pain. It is also costly; however, it is the "only game in town". It would take much longer and probably cost more in fuel than the toll charge going on the jumble of roads needed to get us across this section.
Our stop at the Flying J (Corfu, NY) for fuel was a disaster. They were having trouble with vapour lock and the gas pumps wouldn't operate properly. I think there was still to much "Winterizer" in the fuel. I could only fill 10 cents at a time before the foam would cause the pump to shut off. By my calculation it took 1500 "clicks" of the pump handle to fill the RV. We then had lunch at the Denny's.
We stopped at the KOA in Farmington, NY (Canandaigua/Buffalo KOA) for the night. This is one of the nicest KOS's I have seen. Super friendly, they guided us to our spot. Their information sheet it top notch and the site even had a "Glider Swing Loveseat". This is a sure stop next time we are in this area.
A nice touch is that Saturday and Sunday they have a pancake breakfast from 8-10 am. The cost: a donation to KOA Care Camps. The Care Camp mission is to allow these children with cancer to enjoy the joy, healing and freedom that comes from attending specialized summer camps where they can just be themselves. Surrounded by other kids just like them, they swim, go on hikes, sing songs and create memories that help get them through the tough times helping the both physically and emotionally, during the healing process.
One more day and we're home.
