Today is primarily repositioning in preparation for our visit of Corning Glass Museum tomorrow. We tried to visit the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse this morning but parking was a problem and it didn’t look all that inviting from the outside. Anyway, we will get our fill of the Erie Canal Sunday when we are in Lockport, NY.
We passed thru Geneva in the afternoon. It is an interesting city located at the north end of Seneca Lake -- one of the finger lakes of New York. The city is filled with historic houses and building. We saw many being restored or renovated along route 14. I wish we could have spent the day wondering the streets of Geneva.
The town of Watkins Glen was decked out with banners advertising this weekends running of the Watkins Glen Indy Car Grand Prix. People were everywhere and it was barely Friday afternoon. Originally thinking we didn’t need campground reservations, we arrived armed only with hopes. We quick decided to go directly to the campground hoping to secure a place for the night. That was a good decision. We arrived at 1:30 PM and only 10 campsites of the 305 total remained.
We relaxed in camp for the remainder of the day. Mary fixed a great chicken salad with the last chicken breast from the dinners we got in St Regis BBQ on the 4th.
