For half of July and almost all of August we took the camper van on a road trip north, through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and into western and central New York. We headed that way for a family wedding in western New York, but took advantage of the timing to escape the Florida heat and explore. We took our time traveling, both to enjoy and see of the places we went through, and because due to the distance and driving through mountainous areas the majority of the trip was via interstates. We limited driving time to less than 4 hours each day, which with the speed (70 mph speed limit but no one actually drove that slow) and the amount of traffic, especially tractor trailers, made the drive less nerve wracking.
During our camping trip to the Finger Lakes area to visit lifelong friends, we marveled at the number of waterfalls. Sprague Falls, pictured above, is located in the town of Montour Falls, NY and found directly at the end of Main Street. Karl took this photo from the green square park in front of the falls.
Our friends also took us to the Corning Glass Museum in Corning, NY. We visited the museum many years ago, and were amazed at the changes. We watched a glass blowing demonstration, saw an exhibit of the work of women in glassblowing, and saw many works of art created in glass. I took the above close up of one of the pieces. The light through the piece was really caught my eye.
On our way home we camped at Salt Fork State Park in Ohio, home of several Sasquatch sightings. In spite of our best efforts, we never saw an actual Sasquatch, so Karl agreed to be photographed in front of the image of one on front of the park office.
We arrived back tired and happy to be back home. More about the places we visited and camped coming up in the next few posts.
