Tuesday, 6 September. Stayed in place. Drove around Seneca Lake, famous for wine.
First took a morning walk along the upper reaches of Glen Creek. Nature is much better without a press of people. The work done to build walkways that blended with the gorge is excellent. It helped that the rock is soft. Overall, Watkins Glen is worth a visit. It isn’t the Grand Canyon, but few things are.
The tour around the lake was pleasant. Most of it is done well above and inland of the shoreline, but there are spots that give a nice view. The wineries are mostly one-hit wonders; Riesling. The few reds I tasted ranged from bad to okay. Prices are lower than California, so I won’t complain. But I had several fun conversations.
Not an unforgettable day. But it was worth the gas money.
Sunshine, filtered through leaves, hitting the creek.
A few vineyards.
My best side.
Geneva, NY, has beautiful homes!! Incredible. This is just one example.
Wineshop is an old service station.
Not a proud thing, but the monument is still up.
Have not seen a horse and carriage yet, but seen plenty of these signs.
Memorials in the east are obviously older than the west.
203 years of Sunday School!
Hector Falls. It actually continues under the road. Water out of rocks.
