The Great Trip to San Francisco 2013 Day 1. Little France



Day 1  Sunday July 21.  We crammed the Corolla full, covered the piles in the backseat with a sleeping bag and headed west.  After a brief stop in Johnstown, NY for lunch with our son-in-law Greg Truckenmiller and his three sons (daughter Rachel was on her way to Austin for a conference), we reached Oswego County in time to visit three cemeteries.  Judy especially likes to visit the cemetery in Little France.  It is a charming spot.  She is probably related to two thirds of the persons buried here.  Here lie her great-great-great grandparents Francois and Jeanne Piquet, who were illiterate and ended up with a tombstone that reads "Piggy".  It was beautiful day weatherwise, and our campsite at Oneida Shores campground was all we might wish for  - except that the bullfrogs made sleep difficult.  Our tent was just right, and all our equipment worked well.
