Magenta flowers are purple loosestrife. I tried to find a source that did not go into detail about it being an invasive...

That bridge is on my commute to work! Glad you are enjoying the highlights of Ithaca.
Unsolicited advice: Use Ithacatrails.org for the best hiking maps. Get to the Arboretum because it is magic. And if you have time for it, do the Monkey Run hike that makes a loop from Arboretum out to 13 and back on other side.

Thanks for the praise, Mrs. Grumby, even though I had to take some Adam Sandler-like liberties with my rhyming. ("So drink your gin & tonic-ah / And smoke your marijuana-ca / If you really, really wanna-ca / Have a happy, happy Hanukkah.")

So glad your day includes a bird rescue.

Certainly the bird will deposit some coins into the Great Anderson Adversity-free Bank!

Hello Scott
Glad that you and Rachael are liking Ithaca. I've found it a wonderful and stimulating place for short and longer term visits. The rain may dampen biking but it makes for wonderful cascading falls. Looking forward to reading more of your Empire State adventures.

It's got suspension bridges and trails.
It's got scenery that never fails.
Up on the hill sits beautiful Cornell,
Blessed with prestige and a magical spell,
But Ithaca is Ithaca
'Cuz those falls are no mythica.

Didn’t know you were from this part of the world. Lucky you! I’m surprised at how much we’re enjoying it here.

I’m happily reading your tour of Watkins Glen, showing us lots of lovely stuff I never knew, but I’m mentally tapping my foot: c’mon, c’mon - Watkins Glen, man! Grand Prix! Ginormous music festival that outdid Woodstock! Everyone knows that! Well, you got there. Shows the difference between growing up in New York and not. But truly, I had no idea Watkins Glen was such a nice place.

Sincerely,
Parnelli

It was cool, alright. All the spray from the falls really helped.

I am speechless. Who knew that one town could find renown for so many things? Thank you, Professor! :)

Seriously, yours is the second journal recently that’s made me actually think about planning a ride in upstate New York. Looks very nice! Loved the pictures.

I’m convinced! This is definitely way cooler than a racetrack. Beautiful pictures!
