Great! Can't wait to GET AWAY. It will be great to see the updates to your car too!

Too bad more people don't join us.

Okay, from this far out the weather for Watkins Glen is looking
kind of iffy -- about 50% chance of rain all days. And one of
the lines on the park page says the gorge trail may not be open
until mid-May. Calling the number [after hours at the moment]
yields a recording saying that the trail is partially open, as far
as "lover's lane" wherever that is. Might still be worth a hike
on Sunday morning.
.
Those who are definite might want to PM some cellphone numbers
back and forth to enable on-the-road logisticating, as well as
do some more in-depth trip planning here. Perhaps enough chat
about it will encourage some more people to join us!
.
The campground staff seem personable enough that they'd likely
accomodate grouping us up, maybe nearish [but not right next to]
the shower building. Might be able to pull up and say "we're
that bunch of Prius people with GGP" and get directed to the
right place. No, I haven't tried to coordinate that specifically.

I'm planning on leaving Fri. morning for a nice leisurely drive out. I got Fri. & Mon. off to make it a long weekend. Hope some others will come along too.

Since it looks like I will be there first, all you need to to is ask for the Star Trek Prius.
