CATSKILLS RUNAWAY

here we are in the town of catskill and have been there for a  couple of days..

left home on tues and headed to verona, ny where we knew we could get into the turning stone resort for the night.(yep it is a casino and NO we did not go to it)...the first night  a storm came thru that caused alot of damage and has been confirmed that it was a tornado...the campground was on the lower edge of the storm we had lots of branches down and a tree..we even brought in the slides and of course the awing and we noticed the next morning that a couple of rigs lost their awings...there was also 4 deaths in the area...t

then on wed coming across NY we heard that the albany area had also had one of the damaging storms go thru..so the god lord is watching out for us and keeping us out of the p


ath of the storms

we have visited the NY fireman's museum and very interesting museum and the price was right as lar is a volunteer and i am a member of the aux so we got in for free...there is also a nursing home for firemen...

yesterday we went to the martin van buren historical site took a tour and had a great guide she sure knows about martin..and YEP we got another junior ranger badge..

today we move on  to moreau state park where we will be going to the carlson family renuion (lar's mothers family)..this family does parades and you'd have to attend to see this parade not like you've ever seen before..who knows what ever else might be planned for th day..

life is good
