It looks like an interesting place to visit. Resturant on site, lots of kids activities, close to the Adirondocks.

Just a bit under six hours drive for you Jim, check it out.

I've been trying to talk you into going to Green Lake in Upstate, NY for several years. It is where I was raised. Green Lake is one of only 36 meromictic lakes in the world. Six of them are located near Fayetteville - Manlius. The fact that there are two bodies of water in these lakes and they do not mix, gives them this astonishing blue-green color The camping sites are nicely laid out. Plus it's closer to you than Lake George by about 75 miles. Second image: Very rare living freshwater reef @ 9,000 years old. Hiking trails around the lake.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and pictures, it is on my radar screen now.....

fascinating!

Very interesting. We're thinking of making a trip or two to upstate NY, maybe in the Spring.

I had to look up 'meromictic' lakes. I hope a Green Lake layer is not holding a quantity of CO2 like the one that erupted in the meromictic Lake Nyos in Cameroon and filled its valley and killed over a thousand people by essentially suffocating them (it's heavier than normal air):

There are numerous things to fear in this world we live in. Death by CO2 asphyxiation at Green Lake is not one of them.

Interesting. I needed to search on "meromictic lake", never heard the term. Maybe we'll make a vist ourselves.

I organized an "First, on the east side of the Mississippi River rally years ago" it was hard work, nice to have company though....

Yes. Jim, we talked back in 2017 when we were about to pickup our 2017 19' unit in Sumas.
We're close to Hickory Run SP, a worthwhile camping spot. Check out Boulder Field...

Maybe invite the other molded-fiberglass-brand owners, and get more hands involved?

We'll have to check Hickory Run out. We usually make overnight stops at Locust Lake SP (off I81) or Promised Land SP (off I84) on our way to and from daughter's family in VA.

And while you are at Green Lake State Park, make the 11 mile drive to Chittenango Falls, my favorite waterfall. The falls is also a state park, but no camping. Your pass for Green Lake gets you into the falls for free.

Absolutely. We were there in the fall of 2018.
