SEPTEMBER 6 - 10: RV Radio Network Rally

Wednesday, Sept. 6, our journey was short -  only about 30 minutes to Alexandria Bay, NY and the Swan Bay RV Resort - the location of the fall rally for the RV Radio Network.  The campground is located on the shore of the St. Lawrence River, aka St. Lawrence Seaway.  Although we did not have a waterfront site, we still had a good view of the large freighters, small cruise ships, tour boats and other river traffic.  The resort is well-run, very attractive, and quiet with concrete pads, full hookups, free WiFi, a marina, and many other amenities.



The weather during our stay was cool during our stay, but with the wind off the water, it felt very cold at times. Glad we had our winter clothes with us!  There were 16 people in attendance with several people staying in cottages since they no longer have an RV.  We enjoyed two breakfasts in the waterside tent, happy hour everyday, a club meeting, two forums (ARRL and D-Star), two restaurant dinners (Cavallario's Steak & Seafood and O'Brien's Restaurant & Bar), and lots of good conversations. We've visited this area two years ago so the only exploring we did was to drive about 30 miles west to the Tibbet's Point Lighthouse, where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River.
