We started our adventure to Watkins Glen by stopping at the Grovedale Winery for the evening.
While there we got a great history of the area and were able to walk the grounds, meet the enormous pig on the property and hang out with friends that traveled with us. Grovedale Winery is part of the Harvest Hosts partners and we stayed the night (hook ups were only $20, a real bargain)!
On the road again for a short jaunt to Watkins Glen State Park where we are staying for the weekend to attend the Watkins Glen Beer Festival. It was the first time we towed my Honda Fit and it worked like a charm. It was nice to have wheels to go explore the area.
We arrived in time to hang out at Two Goats Brewery which is along the east coast of Seneca Lake. Nice views of the lake from their deck and perfect place to see the sunset.
While at Watkins Glen we camped with several friends with RVs and enjoyed the weekend. It rained while we were at the festival (Oh big surprise since it has rained the majority of days since April) but happy the festival was all inside! Paul and others did get the trill ride around the race track with an experienced driver before heading into the festival. And YES, there are pretzel necklaces around our necks! What’s a Beer Festival without pretzel necklaces??
Back to the campground for a soggy group dinner, not the nicest weather but fun was had and it’s all about the company you keep!
Back home to winterize the RV, it has been a good season! Mice beware, we are triple dosing the RV with peppermint oil, Irish Spring and dryer sheets…. and a few traps with peanut butter for good measure!
