Tornado too close - Bath to West Point

Mexican night out

We got up Friday morning got checked in at Wilkins and headed out for the camping world in Churchville, NY.  We stopped for breakfast on the way  got there about noon.  We found what we were looking for made our purchases and then headed out to the RV's to see what they had (I think we have every make and model memorized), but we spent a couple of hours there ('til 3:30).  We headed out but had to stop for a light lunch, we had milk shakes, back to Wilkins.  We went in, found out what the damages were, no they did not get the AC working, then got it set up and headed out for dinner.  We found this great Mexican place for dinner, it seemed to be a local hangout and the food was great. 



Foggy Hill Top

We got back to the ‘campground’ , watched some TV, then off to bed.  Saturday Brad was up early, me about 7:00.  We got cleaned up and headed up the road about a mile for breakfast, then we hooked up the car and headed out.    We were traveling across NY on Route 17, which was a beautiful drive.  We had a lot of drizzle on our travels, but nothing too bad, and when we got close to West Point we hit fog on the mountain tops, but  just take your time and it all goes well.

We got to Round Pond, the camping facility for West Point about 4:00, got checked in, found our spot, parked and got set up....yea. There are a lot of people here, but after talking to a couple of the other campers, this is Family Weekend for West Point here at the grounds.  There are a lot of picnic pavilions, that were full and most of the rental cabins are occupied as well, but we are here, safe and sound.  Burgers for dinner, and trying to hang out outside, but spent most of the evening indoors as  the rain kept running us in.

West Point Museum

Sunday we did some walking around the park, actually walked the whole camp circle and found some pretty nice camping spots.  About 11:00 we decided to head into town, Highland Falls, and from there to find West Point to check that out.  We never made it to West Point it's self, we got to the West Point Visitor Center and the museum and got stuck in them.  We finally got done at the museum about 4:00 (closed at 4:15) and decided maybe we should just eat, since we missed lunch.  Stopped at this restaurant that didn't impress either of us but it was food and we didn't have to cook.  Let's see what tomorrow brings.
