I had a couple of minor issues with the motorcycle lift and discovered that the Overbuilt shop (where the lift was built) was located just North (30 miles) of the KOA where we were staying. So instead of going directly to the KOA, we headed further up I87 and stopped in at Overbuilt. Shawn looked the lift over and declared it solid and sound, but a couple of the welds on the tray that the bike sits on were not to his liking, so we unloaded the bike and took off the tray and Shawn rewelded the places he was not happy with. Finished, we loaded up the bike and hitched up the car and headed down I87 to the KOA.
It is a very nice park, all wooded, so no satellite TV, but they have 15 or so cable channels - good enough for one night. Unfortunately, they also only had 30 amp service, so one air conditioner is the limit. And since the KOA is close to New York City, the cost is more than most - $59 with a KOA card discount. The people are nice, the facility is clean and it is only for one night anyway.
After hooking up, Suz and I headed to Newbourgh to the local Applebees, our favourite road spot, for a beer and dinner. Back "home" now, Suz is out with Dixie and then relaxing for the rest of the evening. We were just outside at dusk (having a beer or two!) and the fire flies are everywhere. It has been a long time since I have seen so many. Brings back memories of when I was a kid!
Tomorrow we head East to Gloucester, Mass. for three nights. Hope to see Rocco and Mercine while we are there. Until then.
Cheers
John, Suz and Dixie the Wonderdog!
