The August rally, hosted by the Lindens, was held in
historic Bouckville, NY. Attendees
were: Lindens, Ed & Sandy Miller, H. Wallober, Coutures, McGlynns, Kotars,
Whilens, and Jim & Sherry Miller.
It started with a get-together dinner held at Quack's Village Inn followed by an ice cream social and
campfire back at the campground.
Saturday started off with a continental breakfast . It was day on your own where you could visit
the many antique stores within walking distance of the camp. The Chenango Canal
was right across the street and had a walking trail to enjoy. Other possibilities were a huge farmer's
market in nearby Hamilton, Oriskany Battlefield, Oneida silver, Cooperstown,
Howe's Caverns, or just riding around the beautiful countryside. That night we went to Hotel Solsville, an
old stage coach rest stop, and enjoyed
a buffet featuring pulled pork and chicken followed by a campfire.
A local historian came by to talk about the history of the Chenango
Canal, and the Mott apple industry.
Sunday started with a continental breakfast and a day on
your own. That evening, we all got together and traveled to Hamilton
for pizza. We were all treated to a
second ice cream social. Walt
overestimated how much ice cream he needed for the first one so we got rid of
the leftovers for him. That evening we enjoyed another campfire.
Monday morning, after breakfast, we toured a local modern
junk yard that sends parts all over the world.
Then we went to the Morrisville campus to tour the equine rehabilitation
center. It was a brand new facility and
we were able to actually see horses going through treatment.
Some of us had to leave that day. Others stayed on to travel to Bainbridge for the Susquenango Rally
the following week. It was a wonderful
rally, full of interesting things to do and very agreeable weather. The campground extended an invitation for
our group to come there again. They
helped arrange some of the activities and said they would do so again. Many thanks to the Lindens for providing us
with a "new" adventure.
