We have arrived at Liberty Harbor RV Park and Marina.  We're at our New York Home!  

We are happy to be here in Manhattan, New York.  We are excited to begin exploring. Our first evening here, we found a jazz music group playing on the Jersey Pier.  We hoped on our bikes and rode along the waterfront boardwalk a few miles.  The weather is nice and we stayed out to twilight.

6/1/2018 Return to Family Farm - Start of 2018 US Travel Tour

We have returned to Galway, NY, to the Family Farm (Summer 2018).  Kyle has stored the truck in his garage and we have picked up the RV from the Hudson Valley RV Storage.

June 2018...We returned to the Family Farm in Galway to visit Hume, Christine, and Kyle and Seymour and Bonnie.   Debbie, Tina, and Kathy the rest of the family members are camping this weekend in upstate NY area.  Kyle picked us up late from the Albany airport. We have visited with our daughter, Angela, Lee, and Jeffrey and Jason and Erin in CA. 

Woodstock is in his carry-on;  paid $125.00 for his space in the travel case under the seat. 











The Family Farm is in good hands with Kyle showing us around.  His recent endeavor is spreading the tracking width of the wheel base on a 1962 tractor to ensure safety while using it on the hillside.

The family farm and the garden where you find 90 year old Hume growing asparagus, onions, cucumbers, and much more.  Christine makes pickles with remaining cucumbers.  She served them while we were there.  She also sent us on the road with some she had canned.  The field area, behind the garden, is where the beef cattle feed and raise their calves.

This is Kyle's newest, latest, greatest hay making machine the: Tedder.  Using this machine, Kyle is able to "wuffle" the hay and speed up the process of drying the hay which results in improved aroma and color for his new client that raises racehorses.

 Here is a photo of Kyle's farmyard pals:  the 'cat-eating' Dogs.

We went to Malden Bridge, New York to pick up CasaRoll from it's 6-month winter storage.  It is quite a landscape which we compared to the horse country of Kentucky.  It stored well in one of many large storage barns on the property.

 Here we are departing the Storage Barn.

It is always nice to have good neighbors; this is another RV in the storage barn: Lazy Daze

We say farewell to our New York Family Farm, Hume and Christine and Kyle Donnan. 



 Tim's cousin, Hume, has turned 90 years old this year and remains Master in his garden and Christine is well in command of her household.  

 Hume is planting his garden and has provided asparagus for dinners; and for us on the road going forward.




Kyle has acquired a horse and is completing his water canal project at the farm to make way for an outside horse corral for Brandy.







Of course, we attended church and the Galway Memorial Day Parade prior to us departing on our 2018 Travel Tour.

 Here we are in the front yard of Hume and Christine's house at the Donnandale Farm in Galway, NY.
We have prepared to begin our 2018 Travel Tour to begin in the Hudson River Valley-Hyde Park, NY.
