I left the Aerie this morning around 9:30 AM heading northeast, then north and finally northwest. Terry went almost due north to a sit-and-stitch in Horseheads, NY. I traveled through Maryland, Florida, Amsterdam, Danube, Russia, Poland, Norway, Utica, and Ohio. In case you can't guess, those are all names of New York towns and villages. (The village of Poland is in the town of Russia. Mmmmm?)
Just outside of Amsterdam, I stopped at the Alpin Haus Camping World and made arrangements to have the travel trailer inspected. The earliest they could fit me in is Tuesday so I'll be here at he Bolt Hole all week--maybe longer if there's a problem that needs fixing. The Tuesday date gives me ample time to do a little house cleaning, charge up the trailer's battery, check the tire pressure, etc.
Virtually no snow on the ground except in the shaded woods or where it got piled higher from plowing or falling off roofs. Even so, it was 43 degrees inside the cabin and 45 degrees outside when I arrived at 3:30 PM. Needless to say, I cranked the fires up in both wood burning stoves and it's quite comfortable now. With 32 degrees outside and 70 degrees inside it may even be too warm inside. (Beats the heck out of the minus 18 degree low outside that occurred sometime since my last visit. The lowest it got inside was minus 12 degrees.)
There was a woodcock peenting his love call from the field behind the garage (that's the Phase One apple orchard recovery area) when I got back from making a trip down to Wally-World for a few staples. A good sign that all is well in the world. (Except having to use dial-up! Grrrrr!)

It's nice to hear that the snow is nearly gone there. We still have a foot or so on the ground. It's not really "spring" yet, but it's not that far away. We're probably 4 to 5 weeks behind you, in that regard.
So you were right down the road yesterday...cool
