08/19 - 09/02 Watkins Glen





Watkins Glen Area
We enjoyed ourselves staying the Watkins Glen area. Bob was able to kayak right from the campground in the canal which also led into Seneca Lake. He took advantage of this and kayaked almost each day of the 2 weeks that we stayed there. Local fresh vegetables and fruit were plentiful at local farm stands and we enjoyed them as well. Driving through the nearby countryside we were able to view the many farms and wine vineyards. There is still a lot of open country in this part of NY state. Bob was able to spend a day at a Blue Grass festival in Lodi, NY held at a sheep ranch. The festival is named Blue Grass in the Pasture and the owners of the ranch are musicians of blue grass music as well. The bands were excellent. From the campground we were also able to walk into town and attend 2 concerts in the local park.
