July 2, 2018 Day
272
Lately, we both have been sleeping in and not waking up when
the sun rises and I wonder if it is because I am in a camper and the shades
block the sun from waking me. After we
were both up we had coffee, breakfast sandwiches and finished the movie from
the night before. From there we walked
to a campsite where we did an intense hour workout where I was sweating so bad
my shirt soaked thru. That just shows
how tough the workout was and how humid it was outside. With the workout over we went back to the
camper to shower and have our shakes.
On the road again we headed to Patterson Great Falls
National Historic Park about two hours south near NYC. The drive was pleasant and conversation
focused mainly on the temperature (100 degrees F but felt like 110 degrees
F). We stopped for lunch at a turn out
and got back on the road. Nearing the park
the area turned into a rundown city almost like, if not was, the ghetto. Garbage was everywhere, people parked where
ever they liked, houses touched each other, and pimped out rides were
everywhere. The vehicles were jacked up
with shiny hubcaps and all the works.
The parking for the falls was non-existent and I didn’t want to get out
to walk around so we just headed to the campground.
Thankfully he drove for the traffic was awful and what
should have only taken about one hour took at least three. Then we missed a turn and was routed towards
a toll that should have only been $15.00 but since we had an extra tire it was
$42.00! The price wasn’t even doubled
but way more. Eventually we pulled into
the Wildwood State Park on Long Island around 18:00 and our site T-04 was right
at the front of the campground which was really nice. Then I spent time trying to figure out the
metro and somewhere to eat. For some
reason I am getting irritated at having to plan everything but it is my trip so
I don’t know why it is getting to me. We
walked down to the ocean which was displaying a beautiful sunset before we
called it a night.
