Called the “Grand Canyon of NY state” this magnificent State Park in it a huge gorge,3 impressive waterfalls,56miles of trails,campground,hotel,restaurants ,swimming pool and many view overlooks .

You can spend a day ,2 or maybe 3 days exploring this park by foot or by car and enjoy the foliage colors ,swim in the pool or hike next to the falls getting sprayed from the long fall waters to the bottom of the gorge.

Again we were taken by this natural powers,some say you saw a waterfall why go for another one? well it is not the same it will always be different in one way or another.

These waterfalls will conclude our hikes to see more but we left the one and only for the end-NIAGARA.

This year we have hiked to many waterfalls,gorges and lakes and they all are different from one another,and if we see them again we will still have the same thrill as we had on the first visit.

We have located a campground in a hidden corner of the Finger Lakes area on a small lake called Demons Lake .

The Campground itself is nothing to write home about although it has the necessary things to keep RVer,s happy,such as electricity ,water and sewer connections,but the whole place needs attention and care.

Putting this aside the location of the campground for side trips is great ,the small lake is fabulous,sitting on a bench at twilight time with a margarita in the hand seeing the red reflections in the calm waters from the trees that are getting the reddish colors is feeling that my poor English can not describe-So I am posting some pictures for the ones that want to try to understand what we are experiencing.

On the following day we took a ride to Watkins Glen State Park and hiked the gorge.

I have a weakness for nature powers in general and especially for waterfalls,it is hard to explain and I do not know if I need to explain this urge to do what it takes to see another waterfall and another one,they always give me the same overwhelming feeling facing them.

No matter how long we have to hike,and how tough it is ,we know that at the end of the track we will be rewarded.

To complete this fantastic day (by the way everyday is fantastic)we visited few wineries that are spread along the beautiful Seneca Lake with its outstanding views.

Ausable Chasm NY


Not far West from Lake Champlain lays an outstanding gorge-Ausable Chasm.

Entering the gorge it looks like many other very nice gorges we have already visited ,but after few minutes when the full range of view opened to us we were here for a big surprise.

2 miles hike ,some times on walking wooden boards and some times on track covered with leaves brought us to view points revelling the most beautiful sceneries ,high rocks,pillars,hanging trees and rushing strong current below and all this in blue bright skies-what can one ask for more…

Check- www.ausablechasm.com it is one of the MUST places to visit.

Plan-8th RV summer trip

If you are following our blog you know by now that since 2002 we are RVing 4-5 months each summer,at the end of each trip we store the rig and spend winters with family and friends at home.
Usually I plan the next summer trip during the winter starting from the place we left the rig last year .
Each trip will be to States/Provinces that we still did not visit and the length of the entire trip including many side trip with the truck will be around 10000-12000 KM.
We love nature,hiking,culture and meeting people so we take it slowly and try to cover thoroughly the places we visit.
This year we will travel from St.John's N.B (there we left the rig after visiting Newfoundland,Nove Scotia and P.E.I)to the South Coast of Maine,then head North to Mount Kathadin area (end of the Apache trail),back to the coast and to Boston area,from there to NH and through Upstate NY in the fall to Toronto-all this in approximately 5 mounts .
I will be adding blogs and pictures as we travel, so feel free to "join" us ,leave a remark if you like or not..
We love what we are doing,we live our dream and we wish you all to follow yours.
