"The Black Box"

"The Black Box"
Originally uploaded by TourForLife.org.

This morning we saw "The Black Box", home to a true camper, as we departed Medcalf Campgrounds in Severance, NY and continued our climb into the mountains. On our ride today, we have noticed a distinct decline in car and truck traffic and at times it seemed as though were we the only ones on the road. The towns are further and further apart and a couple of times we have approached a town on the map and since the town was only a small, unrecognizable cluster of summe cottages, we ended up passing through the town without even realizing it.

We have learned from our mistakes and we are now very careful about planning our food and water stops in these small mountain towns. In many of these towns we are lucky to even find a small "General Store", which often functions as the local grocery store, gas station, hardware store, retaurant, etc. But even still, these stores serve their purposes and we are able to find the necessities of life.
