October brought wit
h it Westies at Watkins, the PREMIER annual Volkswagen event in NY state, excepting, of course (Hi, Dan!) the Salt City VW Show.Once again, the amazing Joel Cort used his array of super powers to pull this thing together in his "spare " time (when he's not busy levitating dogs).
We were blessed with good
weather, fine early foliage, & sweet, open roads down to Watkins Glen & back.Our back window, appropriately adorned for the trip down (Mark pic, from LIMBO).
Campsite pics...
Pics from our Saturday adventures:
Lower end of the gorge...
Fulkerson & Cascata wineries.
Can't recommend these highly enough.
Mmmmm...Wiiiine...
These pics from Saturday night's campfire will prove, once and for all, that Empire VW Camping events are conducted in an atmosphere of strict decorum and good taste...
Enough of that; it's a family blog...
VW jack-'o-lantern, and one of Mary Jo's luminaria...
Sunday morning, the day the hamsters had been waiting for finally arrived...
!!!!!!!!!!!! RACE DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Joel's pics of the track here)
It may look like we're in the lead, but all those cars in the rear are about to pass us in the next 30 seconds, while we're struggling up the hill.
I THINK I can! I THINK I can!
I KNOW I can! I KNOW I can!
The road home, to our day jobs (sigh).
