Watkins Glen State Park

We went to Watkins Glen State Park in the Finger Lakes region of New York for our last camping trip of the summer. When we arrived on Friday it was HOT. Miserably hot. And we had crappy campground neighbors who were terribly loud way too long into the night. We were not happy campers.

Saturday was a bit better temperature wise. And the crappy neighbors had been warned by the park rangers that they would be evicted if they chose to be loud again that night. Saturday night we were hit by a storm during supper. Greg and the boys took the opportunity to sing my favorite song, the "Crazy Caillouet Camping in the Rain" song, to me. I've heard that song on all three trips that we went on this summer!!!

Sunday was a beautiful day. The temps were cooler and we had no rain.

Greg left on Monday morning to head back to Oswego because he had to work. The boys and I stayed until Tuesday.

Our campsite was ENORMOUS. We put our tents way back in the woods.

Mason caught a salamander.


Oops! That doesn't look good.

When Greg was getting out of the tent Monday morning, the rainfly pole snapped in half and split the fly. Fortunately, Coleman still stocks replacement poles and flys for this tent, so I can replace them.

I didn't break the tent. You see, what happened was.....Kaye was snoring so loudly that the rain fly was sucking in and out. The Alluminum pole finally had a catastrophic fatigue failure event. It wasn't pretty.

Hmmm...the boys were camping with us. I wonder who they will say does the snoring??

Mark said...

ya'll crack me up.
And Kaye, I know for a fact that no one on this side of the family snores!

What he said.

Kaye said...

Someone needs to get their facts straight.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, Kaye. Everyone is not entitled to their own facts. Facts is facts. You just keep taking your Snore Galore pills and I'll keep using my ear plugs. A Rabalais snoring. As if.
