Thursday Sept 10: Return to Samson State Park

After a nice morning of breakfast and bike ride (we found a very nice park overlooking the lake on the other side of the river), we headed off to Samson State Park again. The marina was nice and the gorge was worth the trip but it's supposed to rain tomorrow (Friday).
There is some kind of race tomorrow in Watkins Glenn involving lots of old small cars (or so we are told) that I'm sure a car lover would love. Starts with the downtown festival tomorrow night. Weather prediction: rain and a high of 62 degrees. Sounds like a work-day to me! So we headed up (north) Seneca Lake under mostly cloudy skies. Lots of vineyards along the lake. The wind was at our back and looking down the lake was pretty neat as you couldn't see the end of the lake yet. Steve decided to watch the 'torture tool' we have on board: the fish finder. It is showing a dept of 600 feet and LOTS of fish (and their depth). Sadly, there isn't even enough line of his fishing pole to reach the fish! Plus you really need special fishing equipment to even fish below 60 feet or so.
Tonight: we have ONE channel but it's the one that has the Thursday night football game - I am VERY excited!!!
