The sights of Upstate NY
« on: August 04, 2013, 11:18:18 am »
There are a lot of great, scenic parks in upstate NY (particularly in the Finger Lakes region).  The past few weekends I've been riding the bike out to some of them, hiking the trails and snapping some photos.  Thought I'd share.  You'll have to forgive the quality on some of these, they were taken with my phone's camera.

Taughannock Falls - FYI, these falls are generally credited as being the tallest single-drop in NY (~3 stories taller than Niagara).



The following were some shots taken at the Watkins Glen State Park.






These were taken from Letchworth State Park.





If you look in the far background of the 3rd pic, you can see the falls (and railroad bridge) from the first picture.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

Lovely. Really makes me wish I didn't have to cancel my trip to the Finger Lakes last year.

It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

Same thing, from what I understand.  I think holler is more of a southern term.

I knew a girl named Brooke. She did babble a bit...

I'm probably going to Letchworth this Wednesday.  Probably won't look too great in the dead of winter.  :lol:
