Stayed at Watkins Glenn with Dave and Bucky. We hiked the trails at Watkins, Taughannock, the Cascadilla Gorge, and Buttermilk Falls. It is the dry season and there was almost zero water at each of the parks.

On this visit to the finger lakes, J and I stayed in a little AirBnB south of Ithaca. We enjoyed hiking and swimming at Treman. Did some hiking and running on a trail near the house. We drove around the north end of the lakes to do some biking and visited Watkins again. A few times, we hiked into the reservoirs upstream of Businessman's Lunch. We enjoyed swimming and cliff diving at the upper reservoir. If there is not too much water, you can swim out and look over the dam. This is pretty spectacular.
We also visited downtown Ithaca and watched the sunset from up on the hill. Later we visited Oneida Lake as we moved on to Llion. There we visited Herkimer and Little Falls. The canal tour was fun as we rode a canal boat through lock 18.

J and I stayed in the teardrop at Spruce Row Campground near Taughannock Falls. It was a great week traveling around the area. One memorable event was Paddle Boarding on Cayuga Lake and taking out in a lightning storm.
Finger Lakes - June 2019
We rented a house in downtown Ithaca that had two rooms and a futon for Ian. Had a great week hanging out and exploring with Mom and Pop. We visited the Ithaca Commons to do some shopping and visited the Museum. This old ball rolling machine dispensed gum balls. For each gum ball purchased, 4 balls would roll. It was fun figuring out the different paths. It is for sale but a little out of my price range.
Finger Lakes - June 2018
After school was out, it was time to take a trip to the Finger Lakes to do some exploring. Big Blue had recently come into the family and I decided to take him on a trip. It was fun to camp around the different towns and explore the area for a week. These pictures were taken at the Mulholland Wildflower Preserve. Also did some swimming across the road at Businessman's Lunch. I would like to come back with more time to finish the hike around the preserve. It is said that there are better swimming areas further in.
