Once again this year we made a late season weekend trip to camp at Watkin's Glen State Park. This is the third year in a row that we've done this, last year however we went in early October and it was a bit colder than we'd like. This year by coincidence there was an added bonus of a small trailer rally taking place at the campground. The National Serro Scotty Organization (NSSO) hosted several small campouts as part of their "Road Trip of 2010" with stops in Maine, New Hampshire, and New York. Watkin's Glen was the last stop and about 8 Scotties made it to the event. Our sire was on a different loop but we joined them for their open-house time and were really impressed with the quality of the trailers including a '59 Rear Door model and a 13' that had the skin redone with stock-looking stainless steel instead of aluminum. Several of the members also checked out our Shasta which seemed huge after spending time with the smaller trailers. Mostly though... this trip was just about getting away for a weekend. We hiked a portion of the gorge and visited several finger lakes wineries. If you want to read more about the gorge you can check out this cool Internet Archive digitized book written in 1884, Descriptive Guide Book of the Watkins Glen. On the way home we also stopped in Corning to check out our old stomping grounds and get some decent pizza. Now back home again, I'd like to fit in one more quick weekend trip but we will have to see how the weather and our schedules fare. Good chance though that the trailer finds itself getting tucked back into the garage soon.
