Today started out with a drizzling rain. Charlie had to go.... bad. I walked her using an umbrella and her leash. Finally she did her thing and we went back inside. I let her loose and she ran for the bed and jumped on Nancy. Charlie was soaked and Nancy was still sleepy. I almost lost my happy home!
Later in the morning, the sky cleared and we decided to go to Watkins Glen and then to Ithaca, NY. The Glen because it is a famous race course and Ithaca, the home of Cornell University. Our first home in Bay City was on Cornell Street. We also saw both Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, 2 of New Yorks “Finger Lakes”.
We couldn't get on the grounds of Watkins Glen Racetrack. A Porsche Racing Club from Philadelphia, PA had the track booked and it was totally PRIVATE. The guard at the gate said if I parked by Gate #4 and walked up to the chain link fence, I should be able to see a fair amount of them racing on the “Boot” portion of the course. Nancy stayed in the car. Charlie and I walked the quarter mile cross country to the fence and sure enough. I could see probably 1.5 mile worth of the road course ... worth the effort, I thought.
We drove to Ithaca then. What a waste of time. Didn't even get a real good look at Cayuga Lake .... just a few quick glimpses from the high road on the East side of the lake. Lots of sailboats. Must have been races. Hard to tell when your doing 65 mph in heavy traffic and only catching flashing breaks in the trees along the highway !!!
Got back to the campground and fixed beer brats for dinner. Mmm mmm good.
