It took a few years, but Rick and Mike S were finally reconnected after finding each other on Strava. They served in the Army together in the late 70’s and kept in touch for many years until life got in the way. They relived old memories and made some new ones. We might just stop in Watkins Glen on our way home.
He told us about the free campground outside Watkins Glen where he lives. Beautiful site with flush toilets, picnic tables and fire rings. We didn’t climb the fire tower due to the heavy fog.
