April at Croton Point Park

It was good to return to my "home away from home." This season will mark my eighth year
enjoying the peace and quiet in the natural setting of the outdoors while having the comforts of my real home just ten miles away. This year, however, there are changes...for the better:

First to be noticed as I made my way up to the RV section of the Park, the bathhouses at the beach have been torn
 down with construction in progress.

Only the temporary bathrooms remain...

...the rest protected behind green screening.

The roads throughout the RV Park have been repaved....

...each site had nearby trees trimmed thus eliminating worries of backing into a site and damaging the RV.

Each site leveled with Item 4 and paved well back into the site to accommodate the larger rigs.

Old picnic tables remain as do the antiquated electrical stanchions.

New site numbered posts are a welcome addition.

Overall, a clean, fresh look.

This is all very exciting for me as my RV group, the Hudson Islanders, have two rallies planned  for this location; one will be June 9th through the 16th and the second from September 8th through the 15th. I've scheduled extended stays for myself either before or after the rallies. If all goes as planned, we will have a get-together of sixteen RVs and their 28 inhabitants, 3 dogs and 1 cat. Through the terrific work and cooperation of CPP's RV site manager, Jennifer, all RVs will be clustered together. It should make for more wonderful memories. To be continued. But first, there's a trip to Tennessee in May. See you then.
