Today, pictures from valued commenter Kenneth Kohl.
My wife and I spent the weekend in Watkins Glen, NY to relax and celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Part of that celebration was “walking the Glen”. We made it a two hour safari and it was spectacular. Nature is astounding.

Wine wasn’t bad, either.
Thank you so much Kenneth Kohl, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

Very relaxing.

@Baud: I find relaxing uncomfortable.

@?BillinGlendaleCA:
Relaxing stresses you out?

Love moonlight on water and waterfalls.

Test test. Le *sigh* Seems I’m on some sort of alternate-day commentability rationing.
Nice spot, all I thought about it was there’s some sort of auto race there, isn’t there?

@p.a.:
Big NASCAR race there every year. Seneca Lake is beautiful and there are dozens of wineries around the lake, so many that you can’t go more than a couple of miles without passing one. Very fun to do wine tours but moderation is key.

Wow. I want to be reality-photoshopped into your first picture so I can be there.

I grew up in that region. Want more? Couple miles to the south is Montour falls, right at the roadside. Go to Ithaca and there are 7 different gorges you can hike. 3 in state parks (Buttermilk, Tremain, Taughhanock) and the others just right in town. Another set on at Fillmore Glen state park at the foot of Owasco lake, east of Cayuga.
