2016 - 10th Annual Buttonwood Meet & Greet

[vcrt]

We camped for a week at Watkins Glen SP two years ago and the gorge is absolutely stunning with waterfalls going over the rock walls. We highly recommend it for that alone. The campground itself was, in our opinion, not as well run as we have become used to in other state campgrounds, make sure you cover all the details when you make reservations.
We rode our bikes in the town and on a very nice trail (Catherine valley trail Catharine Valley Trail - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation) that runs from the high school and goes through Montour Falls where there are more waterfalls to see. It goes further than that, but we didn't bike the entire length.
We also visited the racetrack where NASCAR was doing a test and tune for an upcoming race. That was fun.
We like to kayak, and there are many places for that.
The wineries like Tom said are all around the area of Seneca lake and we just happened upon the Navy and Air Force museum at Sampson SP up on the east side of the lake.

Name Tags

Our names are Robin and Steve.
It sounds like you have a number of good events. We don't plan to bring our kayaks. Will they be available to rent? We'll look for the information and sign up.

Thanks.

I think that means you should come!

I wondered how long it would take, I didn't expect it to almost count it in seconds! I'll do what I can, but need a travel partner.

 

[Tweety]

I'm sure everyone would love to see your parents too!

 

[ROC-REQS]

Agree - it's been too long since SunlineFan and parents were at Buttonwood.
It would be great to see all of them again.

Ditto on the campground. A few things happened to make us wonder if anyone was policing the park at night. Also, we found it a very tight fit to back between the trees to our site ( Tom is excellent at backing up the camper, not a novice!). The folks in the site across from us had to move their vehicle so we could drive forward into their site's entrance and get backed into ours. We like the very simple town park, Clute, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake in the village. Likely will stay over there a day or two on our way back from Buttonwood this year.

I'm in! Don't have a site number yet, didn't request a specific one, but I'll try to find out from Nancy once the reservation is confirmed.

Looking forward to having you with us again Jon.

Thanks Rich, I'm very much looking forward to heading back and seeing everyone again as well. I'd like to extend the trip and take her home to Lancaster County before the M&G, but I guess that'll depend on my vacation time. I'm long overdue for a Shady Maple visit too.

Awesome Jon, Mary and I are really looking forward to seeing you again.
It's been way too long.

You working on talking your parents into joining you on the trip?

It was all contingent on that before I committed!

Hi Jon,

We are so glad that you can join us this year. I updated the list with your info and put 3 people are attending. Is that correct? If so please let me know the other 2 names so I can add it to the list and get name tags made.

 

[Mellow Yellow-SUN]

Hi Everyone,
I want to let all of you know that Bobby and I are no longer together. I am unsure if I will be able to bring my camper to this event. If I can't get my camper there, I will rent a cabin or stay with Sue and Bobby. I may need to reach out for asssitance with running the event this year. As soon as I know what my plans will be, I will let all of you know. If I am not going to use my site I will let you know so someone else in the group can grab it. I am looking forward to seeing all of you in June!

Kathy,
So sorry to hear this. You know everyone will be happy to pitch in to help out !

Deb and Tom

Hi Kathy,

I've looked around and haven't been able to find our old name tags. I know I still have them (I never throw anything away...), just a matter of finding them. I'll keep looking and let you know if I do. But in case...yes 3, Dave, Jill, and Jon.

Kathy,

We showed the movie on the side of our camper last year. So no screen to speak of.

OK I see if I can borrow a projector......
