This summer our family had the pleasure of visiting Letchworth State Park in New York State.
Letchworth is located 35 miles southwest of Rochester and 60 miles southeast of Buffalo in Livingston County. The park is roughly 17 miles long and 14,350 acres of land along the Genesee River. There are three major waterfalls within the park along with many smaller ones. The three major water falls are named Upper, Middle and Lower.
This park has many hiking trails, beautiful scenery, overlooks, railroad bridge, with the highest water falls in New York state located within the park. Also located within the park is the historic, restored Glenn Iris Inn which offers in season meals and overnight accommonodations. Other features of the park include pavilions, picnic tables, a playground, pool, cabins, campsites for tents, trailer sites with dumping stations, and horse-riding trails. This is a wonderful family park with many activities for the entire family.
Also in October the park hosts one of the largest craft shows in New York state.
Please click the park web site for future details & dates of this craft show.
Please plan to visit this park in the future.
Below is a small video featuring some pictures of the park.

The first web site is for the McKean County Raceway located in Smethport, PA. Next is Stateline Speedway located in Busti, NY. Another local PA track with lots of weekly action is the Tri-City Speedway located in Oil City, PA. Another track that is also featured on national TV channels such as ESPN is Don Martin's Lernerville Speedway located in Sarver, PA. This track is well known for it's World of Outlaws Series that races there.
Another NASCAR Whelen Series hard track located in NY state is Holland Speedway
This track is located at Holland, NY. One of my favorite tracks is another NASCAR Whelen hard track located in North East just outside of Erie. The track is the Lake Erie Speedway. This track has a great fire works display every week during the races and after.
As far as national tracks one of the most famous speedways is Daytona Speedway.
The track is in Daytona Beach Florida.
The worlds most famous auto race track is the Indianopolis Motor Speedway located at Indianopolis, IN.
I am also into NHRA drag racing and will in future post list some of the more famous drag racing tracks.

Health Update

Click on Colored Links To Go There.

Due to current health problems and a major operation, my entries to this blog will be limited for the next several months. I am presently living or residing at the Sena-Kean Manor Nursing Home in Smethport, Pa.
Hopefully this will be a temporary stay of about 3 months then return to my home in Gifford after completing physical therapy.
I recently had a complete colon resection which was completed at UPMC
This was in Pittsburgh, PA.
As my health continues to improve, I will be adding more posts to this blog. Please stop back in the future to look for updates.
