May 17, Virginia to New York (pictures)Left Winchester, VA around 8:30 Continued north on I-81 through parts of West Virginia and Maryland, heading toward Scranton, PA. There we turned onto I-84 East and went into New York to a KOA campground in Newburgh, NY. When we arrived at the cg, Joe went in the office to get us registered. I went in to see if he needed any help and as I turned around to go back to
the rig, I saw a girl standing in the doorway, just looking at me and smiling real big. It was SHIRLEY ! She and her husband, David were one of the couples on our New England caravan in 2008. As it turned out they were currently on another Yankee RV Tour and had stopped at this campground for the night. There were eight couples there that we knew, so we had a ball catching up with each other. What a delightful, refreshing break from the stress of grueling traffic, persistent rain and encounters with sign posts. 
May 18, NY to Rhode Island
We left Newburgh, NY around 10:30, destination Narragansett, RI. This part of New York is simply beautiful. Hillsides loaded with trees in shades of green ranging from almost black to lemon-lime. But do I have pictures of them? NO! Not with 18 wheelers breathing down my neck and of course the ever present rain…..Zero Visibility! We stopped in Middletown, CT and had lunch at a diner-style restaurant. This was our first time to eat out except for a quick hamburger in VA.
Traveled on I-84 through Connecticut, onto I-95 and then down to Route 1 in Rhode Island. We’re now at Fisherman’s Memorial State Park in Narragansett and guess what? It’s raining harder, the wind is howling, and it is cold. We’ve never been through a nor’easter, but this may be one. Where’s the clam chowda?
May 19, Narragansett, RI
The Northeast Lazy Daze group began their rally today. So far there are about 21 rigs here and more coming tomorrow. When we
plan trips, we try to find out about rallies that may be happening in states along our travel route. We’ve been fortunate enough to attend three of the NE rallies and just love getting to know these folks better.
