Chenango Valley State Park - 2019Even more women joined us for our second Spring camping event (and the rain waited until Saturday night). We stayed at Chenango Valley State Park, an ice age wonder. Its two kettle lakes, Lily and Chenango, were created when the last glacier retreated and left behind huge chunks of buried ice which melted to form the lakes and bog. Birdwatchers may glimpse woodpeckers, nut hatches, warblers and thrushes along woodland trails and herons, ducks and kingfishers lakeside.
Five women from our Mid-Atlantic region, and one from Eastern MA joined 22 Finger Lakes women for a weekend full with hiking, kayaking, biking, golf, enjoying nature, good food, and each other’s company!
We supplied dinner for Friday night, and everyone pitched in for a pot-luck Saturday evening. Breakfast and lunch was on your own.
| Gilbert Lake State Park - May 2018Gilbert Lake State Park's lake and three ponds lie in wooded, hilly terrain in the foothills of the Catskills. In addition to cabins and campsites, the park has more than 12 miles of interconnecting trails for hikers. Nineteen hardy women gathered for a wet, rainy weekend. We were able to get in some paddling and dinner Friday night before the rains started. Fun, wet hikes, and a pot-luck dinner in one of the pavilions kept us going on Saturday. Most headed home on Sunday. Five members from the Albany, and Western and Eastern, MA regions joined us here at the Finger Lakes.
