Today we traveled up to Beth’s hometown of Speculator, NY to visit her brother Dick and her nephews Lou and Jerry. We left at 12:30PM EDT. On our way out of Albany, we stopped at Stewart’s Gas Station and topped off the fuel tank for $2.49/gallon. From there we headed to the city of Albany’s Water Purification Facility to dump our black and gray tanks. Once the tanks were empty we headed West on I-90 to Amsterdam, NY and then North on SR-30 to Speculator. It was a perfect Fall day and the further we got up into the Adirondacks the more the Fall Foliage improved. We arrived at 3:00PM EDT.
Once we setup the camper, Dick ran off to the grocery store and picked up two huge steaks. Beth cooked German potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms while we grilled the steaks and corn on the cob. All five of us enjoyed a fine meal at the dinner table.
Drive Around Mason Lake – 9/23/2020
We wanted to get out and see the fall foliage so today we took a drive North of Speculator on SR-30 to Mason Lake and drove around the lake. The scenery was beautiful.
That evening Beth’s brother Dick and his sons Lou and Jerry went with us to dinner at the Melody Lodge. Our meals were great and we got to see some great views overlooking Speculator.
