Woodland Farms Brewery, Utica NY — Letchworth State Park, Castile, NY

Not much to say today, we had a nice easy drive through some very scenic countryside. Since it was a short drive we started off with “Avoid Highways” on. It was only going to add about an hour and we had time to spare so why not! About halfway through it got super hilly so we just went back to the highway. Here are some of the things we saw:

Utica NY

Waterville NY

‎⁨Skaneateles⁩, NY (and Apple Maps calls this Skaneateles,⁩ Snowbelt, United States, huh?)

‎⁨Leicester⁩, NY

‎⁨Perry⁩, NY

‎⁨Castile⁩, NY

We pulled into the park road and had a mini panic-attack. The sign said 9’8″! Yikes!! We drove a little further and realized it was just the portico at the entrance gate. Thankfully there was a go-around at the entrance. The park is beautiful with wide, open treed lots. Here’s the driveway into the 500 section, where we stayed.

This is a State Park, so that meant Paul got to play ham radio. He setup his new antenna. Susan calls it the bug because the chrome antennas make it look like a bug.

And then he nerded out.
