A PHOTO TOUR OF TRI-STATE
RV CAMPGROUND
Once again I was rudely awaken by the familiar, nerve shattering sound of the fan/blower gone berserk. The jerryrigging attempt in Vermont to zip-tie a broken blade in the AC unit above my bunk broke. I'm now dealing with Camping World in Kingston once again to coordinate repair services prior to my storing the RV. Actually, now that I think of it, it could probably wait until some more opportune time. I'll be using my small space heater. Tonight temps are due to dip down to a low of 32°.
By nightfall last night, two RVs had pulled into sites on either side of me. By the dawn's early light, both were vacant. Guess this campground is truly an overnight respite for the weary RV traveler. About 3:00 pm today, a Class A Palazzo pulled in and now occupies site 12 next door.
As soon as the sun peeked out from behind one of the huge scattered, fast moving, cloud banks, I decided to take advantage and explore the area and take pictures. It's a 49°, breezy, mostly cloudy day. Although the sites are rigged for all-year-round camping, everything is shut down for the winter so there's no activity at all.

Ice machine, bathrooms, showers and laundry |

Entrance to the "Riverside Inn" |
 |
A huge building that must be quite popular for RVers during the height of the season. |
 |
A well maintained walkway down to the river. |

The bridge on I-84 connecting PA to Port Jervis, NY. Exit 23 is the last exit in PA where the campground is located and Exit 1 is the first in NY for Port Jervis and Sussex. |

The very peaceful view towards the Delaware River. |
 |
Near the end of October and green still dominates the landscape. |
 |
That house in New York must have a very nice view. |
 |
If you know anything about tree rings, (dendrochronology) you'd see that this is one very, very old tree. |

Looking back up the hill at the gazebo and Riverside Inn. |

The huge stucco residence and campground office. |
 |
A very serene view of the Delaware that must be more beautiful during the summer. |
 |
The huge pile of dirt dumped by NYS from work performed on I-84. Owners are waiting permission to use it and level out an area for future development. To me, it looks like the end of a cooled off lava flow. |

A last look at the Delaware River, named in honor of Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr (1577–1618),
an English nobleman and the Virginia colony's first royal governor who defended the colony during the First
Anglo-Powhatan War.

Now we know what husband, Charlie, does during the season. |

I used to canoe down the rapids in Delaware. Only rated for 1's or 2's, but it sure seemd like 3's and 4's at times. Sometimes wild groups of kids would come through not knowing what they were doing and knock us all over the place. Nothing like going backwards in a canoe down rapids. I never got dumped, but I sure got wet. M
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this campground is mostly used for a quick overnight stay. It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that fan.
