You’ve already read I hope my previous two blogs where our road trip plans were severely disrupted in the last few days by the untimely arrival in central New York of Tropical Storm Debby’s heavy rain and high wind conditions. To compound this problem, I did not desire to be stuck in our motel room for an undetermined time in tiny Walton N.Y on Friday when the town lost electricity, internet data, and water service yesterday in early afternoon.
So after an extended wait without any signs of any resolution , Ruth and I agreed to pack out and head north around 5:00 pm. to the nearby Oneonta/ Cooperstown vicinity to seek alternative housing. Unfortunately at our price range, nothing was available to book in any motel we inquired with in the area. So we needed to expand our search to more faraway location choices. That meant driving at night for a few hours to the larger locality of Syracuse, which would offer more choices to “bed down” for two days so we could maintain our planned road trip schedule.
Such a Syracuse move proved to be a good decision. For we could now engage in leisurely free play the next day watching wild animal antics at the beautifully decorated Rosamond Gifford Zoo and cheering for the home team as a spectator at a New York Mets, minor league baseball game. Enjoy the following photo tour of our unexpected fun day in Syracuse last Saturday.
