After Niagara Falls we spent Tuesday night in a hotel in Batavia, NY. It was a tired Holiday Inn but it had a decent restaurant and a pool right outside our room. And a crappy Internet connection so I didn't have the patience to post from there.
On Wednesday we took side roads for a few hours to Watkin's Glen, NY. If you're an auto racing fan you're familiar with the Glen - it is home to a famous road racing circuit. It turns out the KOA campground there is about a mile from the track. We took a drive by it. It is hosting an Indy car race this weekend and the annual Nascar event on August 9th.
The town of Watkin's Glen is at the south end of Seneca Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in central New York. The highlight of our visit was the gorge at Watkin's Glen State Park.
Today we drove down from Watkin's Glen to the Delaware Water Gap on the Pennsylvania - New Jersey border. It's where the Delaware River cuts through a ridge of the Appalachians. We're staying at another KOA here but sleeping in the van. This is our 4th KOA of the trip. They cost more then a state park, but they have hot water in the bathrooms and showers and they almost all have pools and playgrounds. Well worth the extra few bucks.
One reason we came here was to get closer to New York City. We'll go there tomorrow and spend the day with my friend Bill and his kids Cole and Tate.
