Misty Mountains CG site 42

Cuba, NY

Did you bring back anything for me?  What's in the bags?  

Ah, cheese...and more cheese....and more cheese....and pickled sweet fire beets.  Cuba Cheese Shoppe has over 425 different varieties of cheeses to select from.  Not only do they sell cheese, they offer crackers, jellies, salad dressings, candies, maple syrup, kitchen gadgets.  It's definitely a shoppe on steroids.  If you come out of the shoppe empty handed, there is something wrong with you.  Momma was chuckling at the large bags that people were carrying out of the shoppe as she entered....wondering how they could fill a bag so full.....and then she gathered enough items to nearly fill a bag herself. As the sign says, Experience the Power of Cheese!

I know everyone worked hard giving the 5er and the Ram a tubby today.  I just couldn't believe how dirty we had gotten just in one travel day.  Here's hoping we are traveling on dry roads when we depart tomorrow, Wednesday. I'm sure glad this campground doesn't have a restriction on vehicle washing.  

When we arrived yesterday, I took one look and thought, "Oh my, what is this place?"  It looks a tad 'tired'.

 

No wonder the gal said we didn't have to check in at an office.  What office?  Our site was prepaid at the Passport America Rate of $25 a night.  That means the full rate for a site is $50.  Our site is long and we do have full hook up.  There is a fire ring and a nice picnic table but the grass could use a trim.

There are only a few campers here.  I guess it is nearing the end of the camping season in New York.

Cuba is a cute little town with some interesting old, well maintained houses lining the streets.

And there is a bit more fall color in this area.

Dad took Momma to Sprague's Maple Farm in nearby Portville for dinner.  With 'farm' in the name and knowing they specialize in maple syrup, the expectation was a sugar shack, not this over the top, as far away from rustic as you can get scene.  Check out the entrance,

And the building

All in a manicured setting

Needless to say, the food was also over the top delicious.  Both turkey dinners were excellent: turkey over biscuits and the warm turkey sandwich with sweet potato fries covered to keep it warm until at the table.

Even the gift shop was first class.

With a playground for the kids, they have it all covered at Sprague's.

I just wish they wouldn't keep putting those leftovers in the refrigerator. My dog bowl is right there handy to fill....just saying...
