The annual "Great American Backyard Campout" is Saturday, June 23rd. Probably not coincidentally, NYC's Cub Scouts will be camping on the Brooklyn Cyclones' outfield at Keyspan Park in Coney Island.
We camped with friends at a group site off Dennytown Road in Fahnestock from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. This was planned as a trip for families from our school, but not many came because of a dubious weather report. In fact, there was just a bit of rain during the night and it was otherwise fine. The kids had a blast, as usual.
Packing with a lot of recriminations, and got going an hour or two later than we hoped. I forgot the toys and Legomaniac's fishing gear except for the pole. There was traffic leaving NYC (Holland tunnel), and a thunderstorm/downpour on Rt 80, but the PA portion of the drive was nice & scenic.
