Peppy's Dream Moving Adventure Blog

Last night was the worst night’s sleep I’ve had since we left New York.  It wasn’t my cozy, comfortable bed.  Oh, no.  It was the fact that Turning Stone Campground is right near a railroad and every time the train passes (which seemed to be every half hour), they blow that loud horn!  I felt like I was in MY COUSIN VINNY.  Remember that scene?  Very funny.  Not so funny when it’s you and you were at a casino until midnight and didn’t go to bed until 2:00am and are being woken up every half hour! 

Anyway, we’ve been on the road for over 2 weeks now, and I haven’t driven the RV at all, so I told Eric today was the day!  I practiced on the grounds of Turning Stone Campground, where the speed limit is 5 miles an hour.  Just my speed!  I actually found it very comfortable and easy to drive (although I won’t be parallel parking it anytime soon). 

We left Turning Stone at 12:30pm (with Eric driving) and headed north for Niagara Falls.  After about an hour, I took over driving.  I think driving on the thruway is easy, because you just have to concentrate on staying in your lane.  There’s nothing else to worry about.  Eric put me on cruise control, so I didn’t even have to work the gas pedal!  I kept saying that line from RAINMAN, “I’m an excellent driver.”  We stopped for lunch and I was able to park it by myself.  Wheeeeeeee!

After lunch, Eric took over again (he’s really a much better driver) and we got to Niagara Falls Campground at 5:30pm.  I did some laundry and Eric worked around the RV.  He opened the awning on the side, which is really nice.  Every campsite has a table and benches, so we can eat outside if we want, and not be in the sun!

Eric received an email from his Vietnam Trails riding buddy, Dana, with three pictures  he sent of Eric doing some jumps.  Pretty awesome, eh?

Tomorrow we hit the Falls.  Can’t wait!
