In Bleecker

Bleecker New York, that is.  It was a long drive yesterday, 11 hours from Lexington Virginia to Bleecker in upstate NY. 

Bleecker is really out in the boonies.  No cell service there, no cable TV, no nothing.  So no blog posts for awhile.  We're in town right now so Pam can register her car and I'm sitting in my truck, connected via our hot spot.

The dogs love Bleecker because they can run off leash all day.  The only excitement is the young bear that's been hanging out in the woods on the perimeter of the property.  It tried to get into my truck last night to get at the dog food in there.   Mostly just muddy paw prints, but also a couple of minor scratches from its claws.

It's much cooler on Bleecker Mountain than Brunswick, Georgia.  I actually put on a jacket last night, first time since February.

Our friend Rod called from Brunswick Landing Marina.  The A/C has been fixed, and Drift Away is on the hard and got power washed in preparation for bottom paint.

Today we plan on looking at modular homes.   A place nearby has a nice looking chalet style.  We're kicking around the idea of a summer place up here to get away from the sweltering heat of Georgia.  Just kicking the idea around, nothing planned.

  3. Following the seasons isn't a bad way to go. Post some images of what you come across in a "chalet style" place. Enjoy the cool!

  6. What the hell!....I am missing the daily dose of Dave...instead of buying a "modular home" why not move to the west coast of FL where the weather is really nice all the time and much cooler that GA! Ask anyone who lives here.
    close to a 100 in Ct today. Low 80's in Fl today..you decide.

    1. We rarely have internet access, so we won't be updating much until we get back to GA. About a week, maybe even two. Lot's to write about. Class reunion tonight!
