We just returned from the Watkins Glen KOA, Watkins Glen, New York. What a beautiful Columbus Day weekend. It was only our 4th time out with the Monty this year but it was by far the GREATEST. Running the air conditioner on Friday, October 5th and sitting around the campfire on Saturday, October 6th in shorts and tee shirts in New York was something out of the ordinary.
We did the Seneca Lake boat ride, walked the glen and the streets of Watkins Glen, visited a winery, and visited the Windmill Craft and Flea Market. But the greatest thrill was to drive the Chevy Duramax around the Watkins Glen International Road Course. For $25, you can drive the course for 3 laps (55 mph limit with the pace car leading
). COOL. There were 50 Volkswagen campers/vans on the course ahead of us. Now that was a sight!!
The KOA is a great campground. It has an indoor heated pool and hot tub. Great place to relax. The only downside to the weekend was the fact that I had to repair the steps on the 2955RL as I dragged them entering the campground and bent them again. This was the second time in four outings that this has happened. Fortunately it was an easy fix. Don't know what I'm going to do about them.
Hope to meet some of you at the NE Spring Ralley in Gettysburg in June.
