Day 1 of our teardrop adventure

---

We'll we're off. We left Brookfield at 10 A.M., finished packing in the rain.... We drove in a mixture of clouds and sun, averaging about 31.5 mpg, not too bad towing about 1500 lbs with our "tear" fully loaded. We headed out Rt. 28 to Concord, then 89 to Rt. 9 through Vermont, beautiful 2 lane country road, winding, no traffic to bother us. We then came across I-90 through NEw York, landing in Geneva this evening around 6:30 in torrential rain. Plans to camp at Cayuga State PArk rained out, we decided ahead of time that if it's pouring when time to camp if it's possible we won't! At a Day's Inn--on to Niagara Falls in the A.M. Luckily we didn't go through Eppin' today as many had bets. including us some days, that that would be our turn around point! Traveling in a tiny teardrop is not for everyone. It's a bed on wheels, ours has a kingsize mattress. Inside also has storage space, lights, fantastic roof fan, radio and avery small tv monitor. No, one can't stand up inside. We plan to do a mixture of camping and hoteling for 5 weeks or until we're sick of it or seen all we can "take-in". Today's pic is our rig ready to roll. we're inside out of the rain, checking list for the 100th time and saying goodbye to our friend Peggy who's housesitting and cat sitting for us. We'll post again when we have wifi.
