Water Safari - 5 stars

So in case any of you are heading near Old Forge New York, be sure to check out NY's largest waterpark, Enchanted Forest Water Safari. I know it sounds like an asian game show, but it is really awesome. Ashlinn and I took a day off the bikes to splash around on some great rides. We spent two nights at Old Forge Camp Resort. It was mostly RVs and trailer camping, but it was still fun. The night before we got to Old Forge, we slept in an apartment above a convenience store/laundromat/wine store. The very nice man who runs it told us we could stay there for free. Ashlinn repaid the favor by giving the man's dog a bath. Isn't she nice? The night before that, we just barely found a place to stay. Unfortunately, a map sent us in the wrong direction. We didt end up at a campground, but instead at a weird headquarters for DEC and DOT people. We found the grounds manager, and he told us we could stay at a flat spot that was out of sight of his boss. This also just happened to be right next to
a lake. It was tough for Ashlinn to fall asleep with all the frogs, but worth it to wake up next to a beautiful view.
We are officially out of The Adirondacks, and now we are just in a strange world named upstate New York. Wish us luck!
