The Wings of Eagles Museum is located in Elmira, NY. A wedding was scheduled for that evening and the tables and all the other wedding items were in place. The collection of aircraft and displays are not as extensive as other aviation museums we visited but our tour guide made all the difference. He talked continuously for almost 1-1/2 hours. Telling us about his time in the service and the many times he ran into General Curtis LeMay. He know the history of each aircraft, how it was used, and the pilots that flew them.
One of Mary’s “A-list” stops is the Corning Glass Museum. It has a vast collection of glass items dating back to the civilizations that first used glass. It is such a vast collection that it can overtax one’s ability to comprehend everything. We were a little disappointed with the “technology” of glass. We both were hoping to understand the manufacturing processes thru the ages.
We stopped at the Flying J near Buffalo, NY. After filling the gas and Propane tanks, we tried to get some sleep. Within the first hour, the lawn sprinklers came on and started hitting the Roadtrek. 20-minutes later they were off and we mistakenly thought that was over for the night. After getting back to sleep, the sprinklers came on again splashing the Roadtrek. This cycle repeated three times before I finally moved the Roadtrek into a dryer position. I’m afraid I didn’t get much sleep.
