We left Speculator, NY at 11:00AM EDT and headed down out of the Adirondacks to Beth’s sister Kathy’s house in East Greenbush, NY (near Albany). We drove 8 miles out of our way in order to fuel up at the TA Travel Center near Johnstown, NY which was well worth the $0.86/gal savings (we saved $20 on that fill up). On our fuel detour we stopped at the Taco Bell in Johnstown, NY for a couple Stackers and a Burrito. As we passed through Albany we made our usual stop at the Albany Water Treatment Facility to dump our tanks. We arrived at Beth’s sister Kathy’s house at 2:00PM EDT (103 miles). Our total distance on this trip so far is 6,665 miles and our overall fuel mileage is 14.4MPG.
We had originally intended to head home at the end of July and then drive back up to Albany in mid September to help pet sit while three of Beth’s sisters vacationed in Scotland. Their trip got moved up to mid August so we came directly to Albany from Mom & Dad’s. Beth’s sister Kathy’s cat CeeCee had an iodine procedure done this week for a thyroid issue and arrived home today shortly after we arrived. She seems fine. We are now settling in and preparing to baby sit cats in three homes.
Before they left for Scotland, Lori, Donna, and Terry took the pet sitters out for a meal at Kay’s Pizza (possibly our favorite pizza). Kathy, Beth, and I also had an excellent meal at Tipsy Moose Tap & Tavern while we were pet sitting.
