Honesdale, Pennsylvania

Boo! Happy Halloween. We pulled into Honesdale yesterday afternoon after a great stay in Yonkers, NY. The trip was surprising for the snow lying in the hills and on the side of the road an hour or so outside NY City. Locals describe this as "a little early in the season for snow". The sun shone brightly but it was a cool (44 F) and clear day. We are planning to stay through Sunday morning then begin heading the 300 miles or so toward Washington DC area in time for the Presidential Election on Nov 4. (Don't forget to vote - we did already!).

Long Island, New York

We're camping at Smith Point County Park at the eastern end of the Fire Island National Seashore. No-one told us about this well kept secret! We crossed a small bridge to get here and have a bay to the north of us (100 yards) as well as the open beach to the south (50 yards across a dune). Our site has power hookup and the rates are very affordable. This is also the commemorative site of TWA Flight 800 that exploded in mid-air in 1996 killing all 230 people on board. We did a somber tour of the site today. Tomorrow we are visiting a fellow Sprinter Westy owner and her family in Stamford, Connecticut before making our way to Yonkers and a 3-night homestay with relatives of some Seattle friends where we'll base to do our New York City exploring.
