A view from our campsite in Cooperstown.

The other direction.

The next day we drove to Corning, NY.  We all parked our rigs in the parking lot.  And went inside.

Here is a Dale Chahuli from Wash.

David and Susan,  our newest friends.  They are from Austin, Texas.  He's a lawyer.

Closest to the camera is Kathy, she is from Ont. Canada.  The other two are Terry and Bob Hayes, from Walnut Creek. They even know JoAnn and Matt.

Bev and Ira friends from Alaska and the Misssissippi in front and Marie and Fred, our tail gunners with Ernie and Sheila.

Behind your dad is Cyndy and John from Onterio, Canada.  Beside your dad is Carl and Sandy Wenger from Maryland.  They were on the trip with us last year as well. 

This is the gaffer, the glass blower, and his assistant.  We watched a demo.

This is a 100 lb. paper weight.  It completes a 1000 collection of normal sized paperweights.

The view from our windscreen in the campground in Bath.

While in Bath we visited the Curtis Museum.  He is said to be the father of the Naval airforce.  This is a camper he also designed in the 1910's.  Look it has a toilet.

One of his aircrafts.

This is a plane from Curtis that had  been in a swamp in Florida for decades.  The volunteers are going to restore it.  Good luck guys.

Your dad says he wants a car like this one for his 70th.  Yeah right...

We went on a lunch cruise on one of the Finger Lakes.  This lake is about 25 miles long.

Guess who?

And her?  I didn't get ready and smile.

We were packed in there like sardines.

But look what we could see.

The colors were at their peak up there.

This is topside.

It reminded me of a patchwork quilt.

People have summer homes all along the lake.

Dad and Joe another new friend.

From up top.  That's Mary and Fred and our wagonmaster, Ken.

We are on our way back to port.



We had a really good time in New York state.  People were friendly and made us feel welcome.  I've got pictures from Niagra Falls, but I'll send them another time.  We have to get ready to get back on the road in the morning.  Tomorrow is Canton, Ohio and the next day is near Huntington, WV.  See you all soon.

Very cool to see the baseball hall of fame. Gorgeous fall color, one of the things I miss from New England.
