<\/a><\/p>\nI bought my new trailer in January, but still hadn’t used it. Isn’t it cute? It’s a T@b, made by nuCamp<\/a>. I figured the I should remedy that situation before the summer was over. I made plans to visit my family on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n After getting a few “minor” things taken care of – like a non-functioning refrigerator – I managed to get to the campground in time for my reservation. I’m glad that I tried to start things up while I was in the driveway. You don’t want to discover that important systems don’t work when you’re on the road.<\/p>\n I headed east, toward the Buffalo, New York region.<\/p>\n I was back in Evangola State Park<\/a>, a favorite from my Airstreaming days. I even picked a site I had been in before. It’s always nice to know where the water is. In my experience, New York State parks usually have electricity at the campsites for RVs, but you need to fill up your water tanks at a communal spigot.<\/p>\n This is Cora’s part of the T@b. Some people have commented that cats don’t like to eat by their “bathroom.” I think you will agree that Cora doesn’t appear to mind. (In case you are impressed with the litter box, here’s a link <\/a>to it.)<\/p>\n Cora enjoys sitting on top of her litter box and looking out the window.<\/p>\n This was my first dinner in my new trailer. Pierogis saut\u00e9ed with onions and peppers with tomatoes on the side. Some people grill when they camp – I make pierogis.<\/p>\n I figure this photo says it all.<\/p>\n I haven’t really gotten too much into decor yet, but I have a red theme going on that matches the red and white colors of the T@b.<\/p>\n I figure that I’ve covered just about everything there is to cover in Buffalo, but I set out to find some new things to explore. I found a cemetery for soldiers of the War of 182.<\/p>\n You might ask, “Where is that?” Good question.<\/p>\n It’s right there, between the Buffalo Niagara International Airport and the Thruway, on the bank of Ellicott Creek. Do you see it?<\/p>\n If you zoom in close enough, it pops right out. There was a military hospital nearby and they buried the dead in this cemetery. The information you can find on the internet is astounding! I found one site<\/a> that lists the names of the dead and what they died of. Incidentally, diarrhea seems to be a leading cause of death back then.<\/p>\n Both American and British soldiers are buried here.<\/p>\n One source<\/a> I located said that the cannon that was placed there in 1898 by the Buffalo Historical Society, but was donated in 1942 to\u00a0Bethlehem Steel to be used as scrap metal for the war effort.<\/p>\n So, maybe this is a replacement cannon.<\/p>\n The website<\/a>\u00a0identifies this photo from 1898 or 1899.<\/p>\n Graves are marked with wooden crosses. I always wonder when you see cemeteries marked with crosses like this if they have actually identified that people are buried in those specific locations or if they are reminders that\u00a0this is hallowed ground.<\/p>\n People still come to pay their respects.<\/p>\n I finally managed to get together with my sister, Amy. We picked a spot near her home.<\/p>\n A big ol’ soft pretzel, some sort of fried things, a couple of beers\u00a0and my sister…that sounds like a recipe for a good evening.<\/p>\n And then it was time to head back to the trailer. Cora was waiting for me!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got back from the seed courier gig in July 2018 and now it was the middle of August.
