Flying J Update

As you know, Flying J has merged with Pilot.  As of September 1st, your Flying J card will be honored at Pilot stations with a 2 cent discount on gas, 3 cent on diesel and 10 cents on propane at RV islands. Discounts will no longer based on purchases in stores.

While visiting the Flying J in Penbrooke, NY, they told me the restaurant will be converted to DENNY'S starting in September.  This seems to be another sign of things to come.

Also, for those of you who travel the New York Thruway near Penbrooke, TOTEM POLE gas station on Ledge Road north of the exit had gas for 17 cents less than Flying J and propane for 95 cents less. It is on the Seneca Indian Reservation.

Season change causes change of recreation

As camping season and BBQ season get close to fall we start to think of other sports.  A creative person has figured out a way to make any orderly transition.  Not one us - IS IT ????

August Rally

Our August rally is all set.  We are heading for the Hammondsport Firemen's field.  Our wagonmasters, the McGlynns, Coles, Moore's and Worden's have a great weekend planned.  Check out the agenda at the bottom of our blog.

Hope to see you there.

July Rally Highlights

We have parked in firemen's fields, state and county parks, streets of Jamestown and numerous campgrounds through PA and NY, but, now, we found a great new venue - the Oswego Port Authority. Our rally this month was from July 21st - July 26th.

Oswego Harborfest, in its 23 year, was discovered by Jim and Sherry Miller. Aproached by them, it was the Harborfest's first experience with a camping rally. However, they welcomed us with open arms providing trolleys between our campsite and the various venues, souvenirs, entertainment, music, vendors and, of course, historic sites to visit. 65 motor homes from most of the chapters in New York as well as visitors from other areas spent 6 days at the Port Authority near the fort.

Assisted by Alice & Fred Sprout, Sharon & Tom Roule and almost every other member of the 34 Pen-NY Mixers attending, Jim and Sherry had considerable help putting together a memorable weekend. It included a "pot luck" dinner on Wednesday, a welcoming party on Thursday and departing party on Sunday. Breakfast was available every morning.

We were honored to have executive members from the FMCA Northeast Area decide to join us. Included was President: Paul DuBois & Diane, Senior VP: Ed Hoag & Lori, Treasurer: Eleanor Rizzi & Frank, and Secretary: Kathianne Taylor & Dave.

While Harborfest is a tough act to follow, we look forward to seeing everyone at an old "stomping grounds" - Hammondsport firemen's field for the August rally.

Details will be available soon.

Below is another post with pictures from the rally.
