Lewiston Moose Lodge

Below are pictures of the Lewiston N.Y. Moose Lodge. It is just a few miles from Niagara Falls and located right on the lower Niagara river.

June 25 - We made it

We crossed the border today at noon. It took an hour at U.S. Customs and another hour at Canadian Customs for the Green Weenie to become a Canadian. All went well. I have a doctors appointment at 9 in the morning so we made it just in time.

Thanks for following along. I am going to revise this blog a little later.

Days 9-10-11 and OOPS

On day 9 we drove from Cloverdale Indiana to Fargo Ohio, just north of Columbus. We drove through or around Indianapolis, Dayton and Columbus. Nothing much happening, we took pictures of the skylines and the state entry signs, etc. No internet service at this campground.

On day 10 we drove from Fargo Ohio to Jefferson Ohio. Not very far because at noon we pulled into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. It was very interesting and brought back lots of memories. It took us till 7 pm to complete our tour and then off to Jefferson for the night. Again no internet was available.

On day 11, Sunday, we took the short drive to Buffalo using Interstate 90 through the remainder of Ohio and the far western part of Pennsylvania. When we crossed into New York state I-90 becomes a toll road (New York Throughway) so we took old highway 20 to north Buffalo area. We passed miles and miles of grape vines and small wineries. We thought we were in the Napa Valley. We took a motel room for the night. We wanted to prepare to cross the border the next morning and update the blog. Although the motel advertised free Wi-Fi, it was down and the owners blamed it on their internet service provider. We are on a roll here.

Day 12 and we drive to U.S. customs and because I want to import the Green Weenie into Canada, we find out that U.S. border services require 72 business hours to check out the vehicle prior to exporting it. Thats the "OOPS". So here we are, staying at the KOA in Lewiston New York until noon on Thursday. The Lewiston area is just north of Niagara Falls and is a very beautiful area. We visited the Moose Lodge in Lewiston. It is a very nice lodge and is right on the Niagara River. What a great location.

Day 7 & 8

On day 7 we drove from Garden City Kansas to Sedalia Missouri. We looked for Dorothy while driving through Kansas but no luck. Found lots of Wyatt Earp stuff in Dodge City. The Green Weenie is still running well and we seem to be missing the storms by a few hours. The skies were dark to the north but the clouds seemed to stay there. The TV had Tornado warnings but not for the county we were in. We stayed at the local fairground in Sedalia . It had electric and water but no internet. That is why this posting is a day late.

On day 8 we drove from Sedalia to Cloverdale Indiana. Saw the state capital building in Jefferson City. Beautiful rolling hills in Eastern Missouri and then we crossed the Mississippi at St. Louis. We said goodbye to U.S. Hwy 50 at East St. Louis, Illinois and headed northeast toward Indianapolis on Interstate 70. We have stopped at a nice little RV park just outside Cloverdale. from where we are posting this blog.

Day 6

Only drove a short distance today. La Junta Colorado, to Garden City, Kansas. Its over 90 so we decided to stop early. Found a nice RV park with a pool and shade. Got the air conditioner going. It runs well. We also lost another hour as we entered the Central Time Zone. Its great to sit here in an RV park and type away over Wireless Internet. My how times have changed. I have posted yesterdays Rocky Mountain pictures to the web at this link: http://picasaweb.google.com/burgersplus/HartHarry#

There are about 44 of them added to the previous ones. We will post todays pictures of Kansas tomorrow. Not very many of them. The scenery is so boring, Hart found the GPS screen more interesting.

La Junta is in the Colorado flatlands and we will be moving into Kansas tomorrow. Time to do some Tornado chasing. Yeah! Right! The internet connection here is very poor and has broadband restrictions, so will not be uploading pictures till tomorrow. We are just going to doddle along on day 6 and try to find a nice place to stay for the night. Will get to see lots of sheep, cattle, corn and FLAT.

Day 5

Hi All.

Nice to see our followers increasing. (Surely there is more to do in life). Just joking.

We drove from Grand Junction to La Junta Colorado. Thats only 340 miles, but it was a long days drive. We climbed the rockies to 11,210 feet at Marshall pass. You can see the elevation on my GPS computer. (I must clean that screen!).

Day 4 Cont'd

We are staying at the KOA in Grand Junction CO. The pic below was taken there. My neighbor was Mr. Jones, but I am not gonna try to keep up with him. The "Green Weenie" is just fine, thank you. We have decided to stay here an extra night, so we can relax for a day before attempting the next leg of our trip. Apparently we will be going through a couple of passes that are over 11,000 feet. My sister would love them. Keep watching gang, this could get interesting. Here is the link again to view all our pictures.

Day 3 & 4

Hi Everyone. Drove a long way on Saturday. From Ely Nevada to Grand Junction Colorado. WOW and double WOW, did we see some fantastic scenery. Utah along Interstate 70 is just unbelievable. Yes we were on the Interstate for over 200 miles because US50 became I-70 through the Utah canyons and badlands. You can view all the pictures we (Hart mainly) have taken by clicking on this link. http://picasaweb.google.com/burgersplus/HartHarry# You can view it as a slideshow if you wish. We will be adding more pics as we go along.

Day 2

Left Fallon Nevada this morning. Pictures above(bottom picture first . We are now on the so-called "Loneliest Highway in America. Had good weather for half the day and then ran into thunderstorms and rain in the mountain passes.

We arrived in Ely Nevada around 4 pm and did some shopping and decided to stay the night at the Prospector Casino RV park. I am doing this posting from the lobby of the Casino as their wireless does not reach the campground. Oh well the TV works.

The "Green Weenie" is running good. (knock on wood). Have had a few minor electrical problems but nothing serious.

Ta Ta for now.

Day 1

Hi Y'all. Picked up Hart at the Greyhound station in Vacaville at 11.30 this morning. Hopefully the pics are below. We had a good trip. Went through Lake Tahoe and then to Carson City. It was still early so we have gone on to Fallon. Presently parked outside the Bonanza Casino. We have a plug in to electric and water for the night. Been a long day and kinda tired. Get some rest and on to day 2.

Day Zero

This is my first post to the blog. My friend Hart and I are taking the "Green Weenie" (my 1974 Hall Motor Home) and will attempt to travel from Clearlake California to Niagara Falls via U.S. Highway 50 (Lincoln Highway). Considering that we are both over 65, this should be quite an adventure. I am not sure about how much adventure as we will be equipped with GPS, cell phone and AAAPlus. We hope to have a post at the end of each day. We will be leaving on June 11. Stay tuned.
