Default Watkins Glen State Park Pics (many)

Took a drive to Watkins Glen State Park today. It was a nice 2 1/2 hour drive with much to see. Too bad the track was closed. Many, many thanks to the LEO who stopped me and let me go.

Super pictures, great scenery up there this time of the year. A LEO with a heart to top off the day as well.

Really nice pictures. I lived in Skaneateles for a few years back in the mid '90s. Watkins Glen was about 45 minutes away. I really miss the beautiful countryside and scenery. Thanks for sharing...

So what's up with the cave in the background of the one photo? Is it a mine shaft or what? Great pictures by the way. Neat scenery in the park.

Nice clean car too by the way.

Great shots. The fall colors are really good. For some reason our fall colors are not very good this year.

The cave like opening is the entrance to the park and leads to the stone bridge.

Great shots, thanks for sharing. I lived in PA until four years ago and did a couple of DEs every year at that track and loved it. That town is so neat and was always an easy sell to my wife. One of the few things I miss most since going west although in about a month when I'm crusing with my top off I will not miss it as much.

thanks for the great pics. I used to go to the F1 races at The Glen in fall back in the 60-70s. Made it to the bog but never to the state park.

That was really nice. Thanks for the pics. I haven't been to Watkins Glen since 1972 when I moved from Arkansas to Ithaca for a little while.
