After the museum, we decided to head back to Binghamton for the Spiedie Fest & Balloon Rally. It has moved back to Otsiningo Park, a short walk from Don & Anne's house. Since the Spiedie Fest is quite popular, we decided to call ahead to Chenango Valley State Park & reserve a site for two days - it is good that we did since all the electric as well as most of the non-electric sites were gone. New York, like many state & federal parks uses Reserve America for reservations. I'd rather drive through and pick out a spot from the empty ones like we did on the 30th, but at least we have one that the RV fits in. Stopped at the discount gas station on I 81 just before the NY border - it took 34 gallons.
