Bailey decided she liked the screened tent we set up outside the Airstream. Great smells and no bugs!
This is our visit to Sap Sucker Woods in Ithaca. You could spend a day there if you pack a picnic lunch. Lots of easy trails and wildlife. They will even loan you a pair of binoculars.
Went down to Corning to visit the Corning Museum of Glass.
Ann Sue tried her hand at making a glass flower.
One day, we took a hike into Watkins Glen State Park. This is an amazing gem that New York maintains near Seneca Lake. The hike is about 1-3/4 mile uphill (over 400 ft elevation change). Lots of waterfalls and pools to see and photograph. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on the trails and Bailey stayed back at the campsite in the air-conditioned trailer. (Did I mention that it got over 100 degrees this day?)
Went back into Corning to try out Atlas Pizza (excellent!) and see the old town square. There was a farmer's market going on.
Our Airstream is the second one (to the right) in this photo. There were four Airstreams at the KOA campground most of the time we were there.
The Village of Watkins Glen has a park and swimming area at the south end of Seneca Lake.
This was a great trip. Picked up 2-1/2 cases of wine and plan to go back again soon! My favorite was the Wagner 2008 Semi-Dry Reisling.
Yes, we even drove over to see the Watkins Glen Race Track. Out in the middle of nowhere, but it is huge.
We'd recommend visiting the Finger Lakes. We saw Keuka Lake, Seneca Lake, and Cayuga Lake. There are almost 100 wineries within a short drive of Watkins Glen. Many B&Bs and Glenora Winery also has a very nice hotel that overlooks Seneca Lake.
