We have been staying at Darien Lake State Park in Western New York. No pads, no real driveways and no water. We used our portable graywater tank to drain our shower water twice and then had to break camp and tow the trailer to empty the waste water tanks and refill the freshwater tank after a week. And today we had to add about 15 more gallons to our freshwater tank to get us through until tomorrow.
The park does have a lot of nice lawns,
a pretty little lake…
with a decent beach,
and a couple of very big snapping turtles!
There is a disc golf course that looks nice but the brush on the edges of the fairways is so thick it is unplayable. If your disc misses the fairway by a foot you spend 15 minutes beating back the brush to find it.
All in all it’s been a nice park, but we didn’t come here for the park.
We came for the people, especially my Mom and my siblings. Here we are in the only picture I have of us. Clockwise from the front left, Goody, me, Bud, Joan, Mom, Jim, and Judy.
I got to spend a good deal of time with my friend Erin, and never took her picture. I did take a picture of her back yard where she hosted her third annual garden party with me and my family.
The other people we visited with but got no pictures of are: Suzie, Marilyn and Don, Rob, Cousin Dale and Sally, Eric and Eleanor, Randy, Gayle, Scooter, Sue and Gary and Dick and Sue, Uncle Al and Fran, Susan and Nancy, Kathy and Mike and Emily and Keith. Phew! I know I should have taken more pictures, but I was just enjoying all the visits.
It was great to see everyone and now it’s time to go wandering again.
On the Roam Again 
And it was great to have you in WNY with us – even for 2 weeks!!
