The Mystery at Pucker Bush Overlook: A Mystery No More!

September 21, 2016 By Julie

Step aside Nancy Drew. Growing up, I was a Trixie Belden fan through and through. Trixie was a teenage super-sleuth with freckles and strawberry-blonde hair (like me!) and I lived vicariously through her adventures, friendships, and romances. Although I often daydreamed that I was Trixie (and positively swooned at the thought of dating Jim) I…

Pleasant Valley or Great Western? Both!

Pleasant Valley Winery: Champagne Wishes and Cream Sherry Dreams

September 14, 2016 By Julie

I visited the Pleasant Valley winery last summer and gave it a bum rap having been underwhelmed by the winemaking museum (a bit dated) and tastings (too sweet for my palate). What a difference a year - and a tour - makes. Or rather two tours: I visited with my friend Jill and liked it…

A Finger Lakes Trail marker in the middle of a vineyard. What could be more fitting?

Hiking the Finger Lakes Trail

September 7, 2016 By Julie

Overview I’ve been visiting Keuka Lake my entire life, but this is the first year I got out to hike trails. Why the change? Two reasons: 1) I stayed the whole summer so had more time; and 2) I needed to train for a 100-mile backpacking trip through Shenandoah National Park (woohoo!!). I’m thrilled that…

My parking spot at the Urbana Town Hall and Pleasant Valley Trailhead. The FLT crosses Route 54 here and continues just left of the red barn in this photo.

Hiking the Finger Lakes Trail: Route 54 to Longwell Road

August 31, 2016 By Julie

For more area hikes and resources, see the trip summary: Hiking the Finger Lakes Trail The CliffsNotes for this hike: Serene, well-tended forest trail for the first 4 miles; road hiking for the next 3 miles. Ugh. Of course the woods vs. road info is readily available by zooming in on the Finger Lakes Trail online…

Hiking the Bristol Hills Trail: Elmboise Road to Patch Road

August 17, 2016 By Julie

For more area hikes and resources, see the trip summary: Hiking the Finger Lakes Trail If I had a do-over, I wouldn’t do an out-and-back on this section of the Bristol Hills Trail. There’s just too darned much road walking. It didn’t bother me at first, hiking in the early morning quiet with cool breezes and…

A boat in Heat 2, clearly have a fabulous time racing.

The Hammondsport Antique Boat Show and Regatta

August 10, 2016 By Julie

What is it about old wooden boats? Is it their simple elegance, wood varnished to a high gloss, gracefully cutting through the water, or the way they encapsulate an era, a tableau frozen in time reminding us of days gone by? Perhaps it’s the hard work poured into each and every one, a labor of…

Hiking the Finger Lakes Trail: Sand Pit Road to Newton Road

August 3, 2016 By Julie

For more area hikes and resources, see the trip summary: Hiking the Finger Lakes Trail Admittedly I have little experience hiking in this area with just seven treks under my belt, but this is my new favorite, #1, top of the list. The views! This is the hike to take to appreciate the rich farmland and…
