Comfort Suites Indianapolis Airport
Great hotel. Clean. Very quiet, even by the airport. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Got upgraded to a jacuzzi room. Recommended. https://plus.google.com/109005929289381694428/about?gl=us&hl=en

Our latest week-long RV trip is on Mortys Blog. We are home again but planning a couple of weekend outings. Morty was wonderful despite the 14 month lay-up.

*Is this a mosquito?* Nope! It's an *insect...
Is this a mosquito?
Nope! It's an insect spy drone already in production. It can be controlled from a great distance and is equipped with a camera, microphone. I can land on you and then use it's needle to take a DNA sample with the pain of a mosquito bite. Or it can inject a micro RFID tracking device under your skin. It can land on you and stay, so that you take it with you into your home. Or it can fly into a bulding thru a window. Read "The Transparent Society" by David Brin.  |

Beware Google Navigate Campers!
We recently had terrible results in finding RV campgrounds using Google Navigate on our Android phone. While clearly sepecifying the RV component, we were getting results that were tent only, and ownership arrangements only, complete with mail boxes. When you are at the end of a day of driving, you want a little more reliability than that.
Recommend keeping your AAA Campguide as still the most reliable source for a given locale. The latter is highly recommended. Don't bother with Google until they implement some major improvements.
Not surprisingly, Google Maps does exactly the same thing, except that it is a little clearer that many of the return are non-RV. If there are better alternatives, please let us know via the comment section.

Sleepy Hollow Lake, Akron NY
As we finish up our week on the road, we drove halfway back and stopped for the evening in Sleepy Hollow Lake RV Resort in Akron, NY just outside of Buffalo. This is a pretty nice resort, with lots of RVs, but not many occupants on this Wednesday evening. Nice lake with paddle boats, decent showers and very reasonable tariff. Just a short hop off of I90 to boot.
With the evening temperature dropping into the 40s, the few campers here are the hearty variety.
Word of caution about the showers. There is a big propane tank outside the shower house. My shower ran cold far a couple of minutes, then warmed up nicely but for only about a minute and a half. Then it was icy. A mite hard to explain, but its possible I was the lucky one to tap out the gas bottle. Might be best to ask about the hot water status in advance.

Stratham Beats Exeter
Nephew Dan, was the starting catcher, crafty base-runner, and center fielder in the stunning 8 to 7 win for Stratham over neighboring Exeter. The victors' early lead held up for the duration of the match, but the tension was high as Exeter finally got warmed up and showed some hefty competition.
Part Deux
The following day, a rematch with another 1 run victory.

Webster Sturbridge Family Campground, MA
There are few campgrounds left in this area of expensive real estate and mountainous terrain. As a result the approval standards to assess a sites quality and friendliness have deteriorated. Nonetheless, there are some basic standards of cleanliness that ought to be observed.
Sadly this not true in this case here. No cleaning had gone on in either the bathrooms, or the assigned site itself for many a moon. As for the office/store the mildew is on the verge of victory. The AAA endorsement, is meaningless in this case. State parks are generally much cleaner than this campground.
Drive on unless you are desperate to stop.

Twin Grove Campground, PA
Super camp site at bargain rates! We backtracked from Pottsville to stay here, and were well rewarded with the experience. Beautiful grounds, large pools with swim lanes and slides. Immaculate plumbing facilities. Given the scarcity of campgrounds as one travels to the northeast, this is a true gem.
Also, a very good restaurant with a wide selection of individually prepared dishes, at very reasonable prices. Do not miss this. http://www.twingrove.com/

Yuengling Brewery, Pottsville, PA
The factory tour of the oldest brewery in America, is a worthwhile stop for all but the tea-est of totalers. The caves used to cool the beer in the 1800's are still to be seen, as well as the fed's prohibition era brick walls that closed them off from use. Our guide Joann was as amusing as the subject was interesting. Plus, I've really gained a taste for that Pennsylvania working-mans brew -- could it be in my genes?
As long as the last remaining few hold out, each tourist gets a poplar bung as a souvenir of the tour. But Joann says that won't be true much longer.
Super well-worth a stop when you are in the area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuengling
