We stayed at the Treasure Isle RV Park in New York, near the southern border of the Adirondacks SP, a lovely little park with a pirate motif. It's owned and operated by "Suzie", who greeted us with a "Hello, Y'all!" Asked where she learned to "talk Texan," she replied that she and her husband are Winter Texans, spending part of each year in Corpus Christi after they close the park for the winter.
A short way away is the spot where the Erie Canal was begun. This is a fascinating part of American history and a neat spot to visit.
When we stopped at the Welcome Center on entering New Hampshire, we inquired about a place to camp and whether or not one could park overnight at the Rest Stop or Wal-Marts. He assured us that Wal-Mart welcomed travelers and it seems he was right! This is the scene that greeted us on arrival in Concord, NH. 
It seems there was a big NASCAR race here the next week and people were starting to gather already. There were over a hundred vehicles there for the night! We all spent lots of money in Wal-Mart, so I'm sure it was a win-win situation!
The nearby Bear Brook State Park has the country's only Museum of Family Camping,which had this amazing product among its many interesting exhibits:
Next, it's on to Maine!
