BLUE KNOB, PA., WATKINS GLEN, NY

     Blue Knob St.----well, it was a blessing and a curse. We overshot it, got in a bind trying to turn around and I took a few steps closer to the firey pit with my cussing, but the park turned out to be beautiful. There were a few negatives: no hot water in the showers and no water, electricity or sewer hookups at out site. But the setting was breathtaking, as was the drive to and from, and we had a dandy time

     Humped for 5 hrs.---mostly interstate,to Watkins Glen KOA. Now this setting is a piece of work. KOA is a nationwide franchise. We hit them when there's nothing better around; they've got   Maytags,  clean bathrooms & lots of big rigs. There's a photo of a medium sized big rig, attached. The EGG is like Little Toot-Toot docked alongside mighty ocean liners.  I'm cooking on the tailgate; they're watching Fox on a plasma. What the hell. Whatever turns you on. They have a pool & we went for a dip. The water was cloudy, as in too much uremic acid (pee-pee). Somebody must have complained because it's closed today and tomorrow for "seasonal maintenance."  Oh well.....we go trailering to get out in the woods and hike, not to swim & hang out with the big-riggers. We're bailing at first light for the Adirond

acks, where the trailering is primitive (no hookups...just h20), but the vibe is more to our liking.

Later.....
