Villages at Turning Stone and Chittenango, New York

We reached our first destination Monday, August 1. The Villages at Turning Stone at Verona, NY, is an RV park connected with the casino at Turning Stone. It’s about 20 miles from Nancy and Ken’s home in Chittenango, NY.  John and John and Beth, along with Abbie and Kathy, all from Albany; and Tom, from Long Beach, California, arrived Thursday for a two-day visit with us. Bill and his son, Bill, and daughter, Carol, drove in from Washington, D.C. Jim, Sue, and their kids, Brittany and Brandon, came from Syracuse for dinner on Sunday, too.

Roger, Nancy, and I toured the Erie Canal Museum in Chittenango. We had walked a section of the canal in 2003. I really liked how New York recognizes and remembers the importance of this man-made wonder. I didn't bring a camera to the museum (what was I thinking?), but please click on this link, Erie Canalway: National Heritage Corridor, http://www.eriecanalway.gov/ , and google the Erie Canal for historical and current pictures and information.
