I didn't post anything yesterday, because it was a ho-hum day. We did drive the main highway through 2/3 of the way of the Catskills Mountains, and we didn't see much to make us want to go any further. It is through the 'soft, rolling mountains' of the Catskills, but no quaint little towns, although we didn't drive off the main highway, so we probably missed it. We just chalked it up to, running into our first snag of the trip. It is a beautiful area with the mountains and trees, but the little town we are camped nearby, shows a lot of depression, and lack of progress. We were told by the people at the interpretative center, that in the 1950's and 1960's this area was booming, and the Jewish people from NYC came here to enjoy all there was to offer. There's no sign of a lot of tourism here now at all. We still continue to have beautiful days, with cooler evenings, and we did get on the bike path yesterday and cached a bit. Not all is lost. We can always resort to caching! We tried to do the Canal Trail today, only to find out that you can't bike on it! The gnats were so bad that we didn't want to walk it, so we headed home. We move tomorrow to Woodbine, Maryland and will meet our second daughter and her family for the weekend. We look forward to that. They will come in on Friday and stay until Monday. They have a special request of a cheesecake, so I'll get that made tomorrow night, when we get in. We look forward to the Republican debate tonight, and glad that we have cable here to be able to see it. We haven't been the luckiest with the phone and internet service on this trip, so we were glad the cable hook up is available here.
