Sunday 8/19/07 Westfield, NY

We have had a safe trip so far, although not without some minor problems. Our first one was that we ran low on power steering fluid so that was an easy one. We simply added more fluid. We spent our first night in Wytheville, Va and it was HOT HOT there. But the facilites were nice and the showers/restrooms were clean. Our next stop was Morgantown, WVa and this was a campground in the middle of a state forest, Cooper's Rock state forest. Lots of shade and nice level sites. But no TV and no WiFi. But it was so nice and cool! The temp got down to 57 during the night and it was such a welcome relief. We were supposed to arrive in Niagara Falls, Ont. today but we started to hear some weird noises that Harry felt were related to our power brake system. So we decided to stop before entering Canada so that we could get them looked at. We are currently at a beautiful KOA campground and the manager owns a truck that has the same engine as our motor home. He listened to our "noise" and diagnosed it as the power steering pump. He gave us the name of a local mechanic who he feels sure can take care of us tomorrow sometime. So our plan is to relax tonight and call him early tomorrow and hopefully we can be on our way later in the day. We are only about 80 miles from our Niagara Falls destination. But here we are on the shore of Lake Erie and, of course, we took some pics. I added a few to my photo album. But Nickie took some awesome shots with her camera using our telephoto lens. She is in "hog heaven" and is really adding a lot of pleasure to our trip. So click here to view my photo album. By the way, it is still nice & cool! 62 degrees!
I will post more news after we tour Niagara Falls.
