This was the most stressful 27-mile hop ever, due to the narrowness of the local roads we traveled and the GPS’s strident insistence that we should NOT BE ON THESE ROADS. It’s preferred route was 14 miles longer. That baffled me. True, the 10 miles on those local roads were stressful, but there were no low bridges, no weight resrictions and no truck prohibitions. In fact we had to share he road with some 18-wheelers and big RV rigs traveling the opposite direction. Two of the RVs actually stopped to let us by (but not the 18-wheelers) which was unnecessary, but I understand their caution. Not only were the roads narrow with no shoulder, but in many place the road dropped precipitously into deep ditches. With visions of our Binghamton disaster fresh in my mind, my grip on the wheel was pretty white-knuckle.
But it was just 27 miles, so it was over quickly.
Our emergency overnight stay was at the Riverside RV Park and Resort which I selected entirely because it was right there where we broke down. I think it actually selected us. But however the decision was made, it was a good one. The staff was very accommodating an it is a beautiful park with mostly pull-through sites but also some very attractive cabins. It was a snap getting in and out. It is situated along a very scenic river with the cabins in many cases overhanging the water. I can understand why someone would make this a destination for a vacation.
It rained all night which made the morning teardown messy, but I still liked the place.
