The Linden's and the Roule's promised to do some investigation into potential rally sites.
So, in beautiful 75 degree weather we left Livonia, NY about 9:30 am heading east toward a potentially target rich area - Bristol NY. There, we visited several possible future sites. Bristol Mountain has lots of potential, but they have never hosted a rally and aren't interested. Ontario County Park has 26 water/electric sites and are willing to allow reserving the sites right after New Years. The Bristol fireman's field has lots of potential, but we don't have the phone number, yet. We visited "Bristol Woodlands Campground". It's close to the top of Bristol Mountain on a dirt road. Not quite suited for a group.
From there, we headed northeast toward Montezuma stopping in Geneva for lunch. In Montezuma, we visited Hajamada Campground who advertized caravan and jamboree friendly. After my "thin skin" was penetrated, we decided this place might not be for us.
So, we headed south down the east side of Cayuga Lake and stopped at Twin Oaks Campground and Marina. It's a beautiful marina, but not set up for rallies.
We decided to visit the Pen-NY Mixer rally at Elmira Airport. Getting there shortly before dinner, we joined them.
With one more stop on our agenda, we headed for Hammondsport and the fireman's field to check out the pavilion. We wanted to use the hall for meetings, but it's being used for a wedding. The pavilion is easily enclosed with tarps and we can use kerosine headers to heat the place. They are anxious to have us back. At $20/night including water, electric (looks like 30 amp this year) and the pavilion, it seems like a good choice for our October rally. We have booked the place.
From there, we headed back to Livonia, arriving 12 hours and 250 miles from our start.
