Last night was great thanks to our electric hookups (i.e. air conditioning full speed!) - we didn’t have water connection, but our stored tank water fulfilled that need, but it is hot and muggy with a heat index of 100 during the day.  That’s unusual for this area and it’s supposed to pass by Thursday, but no help now.  A nice hike or walk would have been nice this morn, but not in this heat.  So I managed to enjoy breakfast outside, and then we took a short walk to explore the riverfront.  We are on an island in the middle of the Hudson, and the river is quite impressive here.  The bridges are spectacular, very high!  We walked the waterfront, then came back to pack up and review our route.  We never found our way onto the bridge across the Hudson, despite camping directly below it.  The road off the island led us on a parallel country road, not the interstate, so we went with it and planned to find another bridge further south.  We passed some cute towns on Rt 9 and found many farm stands so we could stock up on NY blueberries and peaches (the corn we got 2 days ago was actually very good also).  We ended up driving south on Rt 9 through the town of Hudson (very cute) and to Red Hook (another cute town) where we found Kingston bridge across the Hudson River so we could get onto I-87 South (the NY thruway, only 90 miles from NYC by the time we got off!). That’s when we headed west on I-84 to avoid NYC and Philadelphia, and to take a drive through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area - a long National Park on the Delaware River which flows between NY and PA - the river is very clear and boasts that it supplies drinking water to 10% of the U. S due to the heavy population and usage in this area of the country.  As we drove down the park highway, we met up with the river at several points, finally stopping at Bushkill Access Point - a great put-in area for boats or kayaks, or in our case a great place to walk into the river and cool ourselves/dogs!  Water is clear to the bottom, with a brisk flow - would be so easy to float a kayak down the river, but oh so hard to get back!  They do have shuttle buses that would get you back to starting place, but didn’t see any today - not a single boat on the river so very peaceful!  But, alas, no RV campgrounds along this waterfront.  So we drove on, got caught in a traffic accident tie up, and continued on to the town of Stroudsburg, arriving 6:15pm - trying to budget now, would have considered boondocking at a Walmart, but it is so hot that we need electric power.  We were pleasantly surprised by Pocono Vacation Park for RVers - well off the freeway, kind of a country residential area, but price was amazingly moderate ($30) for full hookups/Cable TV, and we may get a Good Sam discount tomorrow but we got in after office had closed so we’ll talk tomorrow.  Our neighbors are from Alabama, sporting a 40ft RV trailer, complete with motorcycle/trike that goes in the toy hauler at back of trailer.  So we compared notes on their trip up the east coast and into New Brunswick and New England, and now they head to Ohio (!?) to see Cuyahoga National Park and Wright Patterson Air Base Museum (he is retired Army, and worked for the helicopter maintenance company at Fort Rucker, AL).  After all that, we pulled together our leftovers, and made a great salad of spinach/arugula/feta/avocado/and Carroll’s home grown tomatoes - superb!!!  We also finished off the NY corn on the cob, spiced with Trader Joe’s lime cilantro seasoning and some leftover pork chop and quinoa stroganoff.  Thanks to our shaded campsite, we were able to tolerate being outside for dinner until the bugs finally chased us in.  Linda worked on a new batch of brownies while I talked to parents.  Quick crisis when the microwave went out, before the brownies baked!!!  But I found that the outside electric outlet was either loose or had a surge as it restarted when I flipped it back on - crisis averted!!  Looking forward to a good night’s sleep!
