Travelin' light in NY

Travel through New York seems to vary widely. This fellow seemed to have all his worldly possessions with him. He was spending the night in a rest area.


In Syracuse this fellow appeared to have all his possessions with him also. He was having lunch by the parking lot across from the Erie Canal Museum.


And then here we were, parked alongside the road in front of the Seneca Museum in Niagara Falls. There were so many options for us: the Elks Lodge, Walmart (where we parked the night before), Denny's (where we had breakfast and visited with the cook who offered we could park there), the Niagara Hotel parking lot (where another van was parked the night before and the hotel is closed), or the Seneca Casino parking lot (the casino is open all night). For some reason the street in front of the casino seemed like a suitable spot. We got a ticket for parking between 3 am and 6 am. No place in town did we see a sign and even visited with Will from Oregon who parked on the street the previous night in another part of town. Hmmm!

Whoever wrote the ticket thinks the abbreviation for Arkansas is AK. I wonder what the odds are of him locating me in Alaska.

I think the guy in the yellow suburban must have been to Paul Michaels!

I feel bad for those homeless people....some choose it and some people just loose everything one day and that's all they have.

I also feel bad for the homeless. You never know their story.
