Pam and I drove south to visit with my cousins and their families in Elkland, PA. Did some sight-seeing in Watkins Glen. Another natural wonder that I did not know was there. I thought Watkins Glen was just a stop on the NASCAR circuit.

Got a map of the micro-brew places across New York (and yes there was one in Watkins Glen we hit after the hike). We entered a trivia contest in Mansfield at another brew house and our team (The Roamers) qualified for the quarter finals in two weeks.

There may have to be a couple of “relative” substitutions for the next round due to our absence, but the team will be there.

Made our way back up to 1000 Island area today after stopping at the Corning glass museum. A lot of glass history and we saw a glass blower create an amazing piece right before our eyes.

Had dinner with Mike P’s dad and his girlfriend tonight at their place on the river near Alexandria Bay. Great company and a great meal to go with the unbelievable view.

Tomorrow we head for eastern NY and the Adirondacks.
