Well, we decided it was time to leave Long Island. Staying in one place so long is not the norm for us but it was the right move. Sitting in one place accomplished a few things. We were able to saturate the area in our own time and not rush, Ronnie did not have to drive long distances and we saved on fuel for the MH.
In order to get to C ape May we had to take a long out of the way route to get there. There are many Parkways in New York but all ban trucks or oversized vehicles from traveling on them. So we had to take the long, bumpy, bumper to bumper traffic through Brooklyn and Queens. It took us over two hours to go 50 miles. We had directions from the campground but they were very unclear. I had Delorme, Tom-Tom and the map of NY to guide us. Ronnie was impressed that I did not panic and managed to help navigate through the mess pretty well.
Finally, we arrived at Seashore Campground, a misnomer, because the CG is nowhere near the ocean but does have a small made-made lake in the center with a lovely fountain of water spraying into the air. The CG sits in the middle of Cape May and has approximately 648 sites.
Believe it or not we had a hard time securing a site for two nights. After set-up we had dinner and settled in for the night. We didn’t do any planning for tomorrow and will just wing it.
