Sharon and the New York State Police

by Sharon Eileen Gray

Photograph of Sharon Eileen Gray A little over a year ago, I had an adventure you might be interested in. I hadn't told my wife yet about my crossdressing and had to always do it in secret. I kept most of my femme stash in the large plastic toolbox in my truck under lock and key, and Marge didn't like to crawl up in there so I felt it was a safe place.

Well, anyway, We have a summer camp at the top of Cayuga Lake in New York about 80 miles from our home in the Southern Tier and I had an opportunity to go up there alone on a Friday night. As I remember, Marge had an appointment to get the dog clipped on Saturday so she wouldn't be up until afternoon Saturday. This was a grand opportunity for me to have the whole evening to just be my true self.

After starting out from home, it wasn't long before I found a place to pull off the road and change. I have done this many times before and can totally dress and do a makeover in the truck with no problems. Since it was almost dark, there was little chance of detection and I figured if any of the neighbors around the camp were around when I got there, they would be asleep before I pulled into the driveway.

I made it to the camp okay and there was one family there, two camps away, but they were pretty drunk and it was pretty dark so I didn't worry much about sneaking over to the camper. Thank God for mind-altering substances imbibed by others! It wasn't long before they were all inside their cottage with the lights out so after checking my makeup and doing a little primping, I decided to go out for a drive. I thought it would be nice to travel to Auburn to see what was still open – might even go to a late movie if there was one!
