Hiyo's 3rd trip was based on a report on a photography forum of a juvenile Great Horned Owl seen in the Blenheim Ontario area. So off we went. But first a pic of one of my favorite meals. It is a 'Dagwood' of gluten free bread, peanut butter, jelly, banana, turkey, and a few other items

In the route pic you'll see a major leg to middle New York, this because of a report of a Peregrin Falcon nesting on Vroman's Nose=a clif face with a stout hike up but beautiful views.

Part of our route choice was along the shore of Lake Eerie-nice and calm, a rarity I heard

On the way back we stayed at Middle Creek Campground about 40 min's out of Roanoke where we imaged butterflies at the conservancy the next morning. Great campsite, even had bears get into the trash cans that night. It was also a mile from the Appalachian Trail and I walked by about 12 years ago. We had the campground to ourselves.

Behind the coffee pot are green cubby mock-ups. I made them 20 min's before leaving for this trip and they worked a charm. Poof will re-do them sometime in a color she likes better and with even bottoms and tops! Like I said, I mocked them up in 20 min's from a gutter down pipe.

Typical meal on the road, this time at the KOA Niagara,On before heading out for nightime photography of the falls. I'd been before but Poof was sick that trip.

Showing Poof how much it 'costs' to run the coffee maker.

The hinged door on the cabinet worked very well, here the contents behind the door.

We stayed in a couple of places where shore power was had, good to because one day
in New York the high was 43F so the little heater was nice.

A co-worker liked the idea of the storage pod. We love it after a week of using it, but
there is a cost like with all things Class B, here you see the passenger door does get
limited in how far it can open....not a problem for us but some might have issue.

Here's Poof on top of Vroman's Nose post a 45 min uphill climb looking for the falcon.

Doing what we love to do, processing images after a day of shooting. Two can easily work
side by side on the desk.

Haha, a selfie in the Ram's head.

Here was the target in that part of New York.

And gold found in Ontario. I'd imaged Great Horned Owls before but not juveniles. On
this day we got 2 juveniles and 2 adults

Overall gas mileage for Hiyo Silver is now 17.3.
Also, we listened for wind noise from the two antennas, couldn't tell they were up there after 1800 miles. Speaking of, the Onebyone TV antenna received 43 channels one night outside of Blenheim Ontario. Interestingly at the campsite in Middle Creek we had 4G and 4 bars Verizon but zero TV channels.
Also, state parks and campgrounds in that part of New York were not open when we came through. So off to the very welcoming Walmart. In fact we used Walmarts 3 times on this trip and slept like babies at each one. We had shore power at a friends in Blenheim.
Oh, and here's Niagara at night
