To NEW YORK

From Ohio we traveled east to Friendship, NY to the All Adventures Campground. This was a small place (no pool) but we met some very friendly couples and enjoyed visiting with them around the nightly campfires. Only bad thing was a new crop of mosquito bites! Yuck-I swear they bother me more every year. We were for 2 days before traveling to the Finger Lakes Area of New York.

We've been in this area before, and we love it's beauty. The Finger Lakes were formed by a glacier. Seneca Lake is the deepest at 617 feet. The campground is closer to Cayuga Lake, which is 38 miles long and 435 feet deep. There are breathtaking views, as well as wineries every half mile or so. We've been to Syracuse where we visited the Erie Canal Museum. We were also in Ithaca, home of Cornell University and Ithaca College where Andy's sister Martha got her master's degree. We also visited the Farmer's Market there. Another feature of the northeast in general is all of the old buildings we see. This was evident in Syracuse where the Bank of America is an old building juxtaposed against the modern skyscrapers.

We have a few more days to enjoy this area before we head to Vermont and The Escapees Rally.
