First Impressions of The Finger Lakes New York (RV Life Watkins Glen State Park)

[@andremathews1823]

Wowzers!! Waterfalls galore!!!!

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha that's a great way to put it!

[@RoadAbode]

Corning and the Corning Glass Museum is a great place up in the area as well!

[@kjhappykampers6305]

If you ever are back in the area, during the summer season, Buttermilk Falls and Robert Treman state park are a must. They have waterfall areas you can swim in.

[@blenk9607]

And here I am living in the Finger Lakes 20 years sober. I've missed out on the whole boutique winery/brewery/distillery thing that has really taken off in the last 10 or 15 years. Made many a dollar as a kid working in the vineyards.

[@rondagoldsmith6404]

Just discovered your channel and love it. Your pretty much doing what we dream to do. Trying to find a job that allows me to work remotely. We plan on taking a trip to Watkins Glen in May 2022 in our Travato class B. We also belong to HH and love red wine. Can’t wait to go.

[@lydan6018]

@Ronda Goldsmith How are you doing today? I hope you are doing good

[@bobhewlett3633]

Glad you enjoyed the region near where I live (Rochester area). You hit some of the good stuff, especially Watkins Glen State Park. Travel safe.

[@helennuttall]

Stunning video, autumn is so beautiful anywhere in the world. Thanks again for taking us along…made me smile on a rainy Monday here in the UK! Can’t tell you how much I love the cinematic shots….. 😍

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you for traveling with us Helen! Being Floridians we probably seem overly excited for autumn, but we don't get this kind of beauty that far south! 🍁🍃 🍂

[@jeffl8246]

Was curious how you were going to capture the experience of visiting the Finger Lakes region, and you absolutely nailed it. Makes us want to pack the motorhome and head right back! Big smiles here and thank you very much. You are both amazing! Cheers, Jeff & Martha

[@EatSeeRV]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was great meeting you two again. Thanks for everything!

[@flpirate4565]

I totally loved your video on the finger lakes area. Bought back so many memories for me. Thank you 😊

[@mellowyellowmom7631]

I am proud to live here in the Finger Lakes. Before you visit Watkins Glen, check the car racing schedule. The races bring many, many people here. ( Just in case you want to avoid the crowds.)

[@EatSeeRV]

Good tip!

[@someguitarphreak]

Wonderful (and inspirational) content as usual! Also I am incredibly impressed that your cat actually sits and stays when you tell him to!

[@aswinos6077]

We are from the Finger Lakes region, but moved away 33 yrs ago for work. Such a beautiful area. We are retired now and RV around the country. Happy Travels!

[@EatSeeRV]

Wohoo good for you guys, hope you're enjoying life. It really is such a beautiful area

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

Ginger lived in that area for a year. So beautiful!

[@garretlewis4103]

Before we watched the video, I asked Christine what she thought you guys were up to. She said hopefully more fun than us (working). After watching, she said you had more fun than us. 😀. Watkins Glen state park is on our list of places we would like to check out. Just need to be careful with the timing to avoid huge crowds.

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha sorry to hear you're not having more fun! Do something spontaneous soon bring a little joy and something different to your routine.

[@garretlewis4103]

@@EatSeeRV Yeah, work. One of the things about running your own business and then being crazy busy. The pressures can make it not so fun.

[@3woocrew747]

We love Fox Run winery - they have a spectacular view from the outdoor patio

[@kxrv6629]

Nice video. We are fulltimers too and visiting the Finger Lakes for the first time. Interesting to compare and contrast our experiences. We went to different wineries but they were each good. Unfortunately, it is getting warm and humid for the season. So hookups only for now… We tasted at Knapp Vineyards, Black Duck Cidery, Boundary Breaks Wines, and Castel Grisch. Not a bad wine/cider yet

[@EatSeeRV]

That's wonderful! Enjoy 😊

[@sherriweber7105]

Thank you for going to these vineyards. Pretty awesome. I loved how you trained your at to the sit command. I didn’t know that you can do that with a cat. Like a dog. Very nice. We used to have a cat when I was younger. I love wine especially white wine. I would get the $14. 00 wine too. I love garlic didn’t know there was different types. I can’t believe nobody in the park. I would stay either. Loved the the waterfalls. Glad you had good WiFi with Nomad internet. Great video. Hope you have a great night and week and see you soon!

[@notfromaroundhere]

Thanks for showing such great places! You make me want to hit the road tomorrow!!! 😍

[@Paul-lm5gv]

Great video and excellent photography. There are 11 Finger Lakes. Two are water supplies for the city of Rochester and cannot be developed. Each lake has its own special character and of course, their own unique wineries. Dr. Frank was the true pioneer proving in the 1950s that European style vinifera grapes, esp. reds, could be cultivated in this climate and produce quality wines!

[@EatSeeRV]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing and watching.

[@michaelharris6435]

If you make it back to the Finger Lakes check out Three Brothers Winery. Also the Thousand Island Region is just as beautiful!

[@yauck1]

Miss the area, thanks for bringing the memories back.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks for traveling with us!

[@mullins_zone]

That area looks so beautiful!

[@cargoon-cargoconversionbui2880]

Great video. We were just there this summer and loved it!

[@ruthleclere2596]

What a coincidence!we were looking at the finger lakes last night !have fun!

[@EatSeeRV]

That's serendipitous!

[@johnhuff393]

Good evening from Godley Texas, great videos of the waterfalls and the surrounding area. Glad you both enjoyed the wine. I'm a beer kinda guy. Thanks, stay safe on the next leg of your adventure. 😎

[@EatSeeRV]

We don't discriminate! Haha this is definitely wine country though.

[@rvnmedic2709]

Hi folks. Glad you liked the Finger Lakes. Next time you're around stop in the Hudson Valley. I'll give you some great places to visit and one of the best vineyards in NY. Enjoy and be safe.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks Bruce!

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video, I love New York! I'm from NYC 🗽❤️

[@EatSeeRV]

Glad you enjoyed it Miguel!

[@mariebrumer3440]

The gorge was beautiful. Still haven't made it to NY, but definitely want to.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

The wineries and that one brewery look amazing! I am mainly a red drinker, but on warm days or if the whites are delicious, I jump right over to white ;) The gorge trail - wow!!

[@EatSeeRV]

I'm the same way, lol! That gorge hike was so rewarding! - Dennis

[@bobcrispycritterrv2706]

I have walked in your footsteps and would recommend it to any adventurer out there.

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Well, 🍷+ ⛰+‍🥾+🌊 not to mention the views! When I hear New York, this would be my last thought. So much beauty in this area. I look forward to seeing where you end up next. 🇳🇱🙋‍🇳🇿. 🙏 travel safe!

[@EatSeeRV]

It's true, New York City is always the first thing that comes to mind. But, it's such a small part of the state! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video Oma. Thanks for traveling with us! - Dennis

[@mirandarice4234]

I live in this area and I love Watkins Glen. If you come back you have to hike Robert Treman and Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca, NY

[@johncromwell9536]

Another great area is Letchworth State Park sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of the east. It is located just east of where you visited. Awesome place in the fall. We were in the Finger Lakes the last 2 summers.

[@EatSeeRV]

We've been twice it's gorgeous!

[@jimbrown1994]

We love the finger lakes region, especially Watkins Glen, been there many times camping on bike events, funny you stopped at Two Goats Brewing which is one of our favorites, the locals go there and I have one of there signs in our garage and a dollar bill on their ceiling !!!!

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha that's awesome! It felt very local.

[@georgedodwell1721]

I've never been to this area and it's only a 4 1/2 hr drive from my place north of Toronto . Definitely going to visit next summer. Thanks for sharing. 🍁

[@EatSeeRV]

Do it! You won't regret it :)

[@2426eltejano]

Saludos amigos Liz and Denis , I love the water falls and the scenery you guys living a good life for sure

[@EatSeeRV]

It's a beautiful area!

[@SandorLau]

First I ever heard of super thanks! Quite the upgraded production values from the 2017 video!

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you so much for showing us some love with the super thanks! It's something new from KZbin. Definitely an upgrade. It's embarrassing to see what we thought was so great. Wonder if we'll get to a point we feel that about these videos?

[@tarac5137]

Really beautiful! I haven’t seen most of NY, thanks for the tour. 🍁

[@EatSeeRV]

It really is a beautiful state!

[@ericvaneck4296]

We just got back from Maine and found a winery outside of Bar Harbor called Bar Harbor Cellars and they make a wine that tastes just like blueberry pie, yum:). The taste lingers on your lips for a few hours if you like them, so good. Tried a few other blueberry wines but nothing as good as theirs. The colors in Maine was very cool.

[@davidoverholt251]

Late Harvest wine is a great desert Dennis! Almost a Ice Wine!

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes! Dennis LOVES ice wines

[@juliereese8930]

Love all your videos. If you could it would be amazing to see the starry nights where you stay.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you so much for always watching! We don't watch the stars enough. Well, Dennis does more than me. Wish we had a quality camera to capture it.

[@michaeltrusinski1968]

Love Watkins Glen, we only live an hour away 😍

[@SandorLau]

Thanks!

[@jeffconstantino5330]

Just watched you VLOG on the finger lakes I grew up in the area and if you up this way again I would recommend that you go to Seneca Lake there are a lot of wineries which you are aware of. The three that I recommend are Hazlitt which is a HH, Torrey Ridge, and Three Brothers plan on spending a few hours there they are a winery, brewery and cider. I’m glad you enjoyed the area

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks for the recommendations Jeff! We will add them to the list for our next finger lakes visit! - Dennis

[@dangardner6178]

Letchworth state Park is maybe an hour west of finger lakes . very much worth the drive. Number 1 state Park in the USA.

[@EatSeeRV]

It was!

[@garykitchin606]

If you want beautiful views of the area. Take in a glider ride, in Elmira, NY.

[@EatSeeRV]

Sounds awesome!

[@edrumsas5420]

Great video. Definitely added to our list of paces to go. Love the reds as well. You mentioned you were a teacher…Spanish??

[@Kovaction]

NY is pretty awesome! My wife and I had to go to Scotland to go one up on here... Nice video! Pardon me while I get back to editing LOL...... Cheers!!!

[@EatSeeRV]

That's awesome!

@@EatSeeRV SO glad to see you are travelling as we are! New sub here so we can see your adventures too!

You were only 40 minutes from our home, you could have mouchdocked. We have a giant 45 ft RV pad. BTW, nice video and review of the Finger Lakes. You do a great job with the videos and editing.

[@EatSeeRV]

Aw thanks for the offer!

[@markwisniewski2227]

Did you go through Naples? It is on the southern side of Canandaigua Lake. It has a Swiss type atmosphere. Just beautiful.

[@EatSeeRV]

No we didn't sorry to have missed it.

[@docholiday1034]

Yep Columbus day is a rough weekend....

[@ftkinsella]

That place was beautiful, the rocks and the waterfalls were incredible. Why does Watkins Glen sound so familiar? Does it have something to do with NASCAR or golf? I have to let you know that my viewership will be dropping off because I am dealing with more pain and my health has gotten worse. The dream of traveling across Canada and into the US is exactly that just a dream. Watching others live my dream is depressing. Thanks for all the amazing videos and comments. Stay safe and healthy and stay young. Getting old sucks. Frank sending love from Ontario Canada. Cheers!!!

[@EatSeeRV]

I'm so sorry to hear of your health challenges and that you weren't able to leave out this dream. We hop we were able to take you with us and live out some of it in a way. We're sending you well wishes and hope things get better soon! We appreciate your support and always watching and commenting, and know that we're supporting you from a far.

watkins glen has auto racing at their facility every year....

this video is awsome thank you for this i jaust wanted to know what song was that playing 5;18

[@gregpatterson134]

We really enjoyed the tour of this area. Your video of the UP in Michigan convinced us to go there last week and it was beautiful. We also really like your video style and quality of editing. Do you use the Sony ZV-1 for most your vlogs and do you think it works for most situations including your wide angle for the talking clips as well as scenery? From your videos it looks really good with talking clips not being to close up. Also, how much do you use smartphones for video content? Great work and this video helped us think about our next trip to NY and let my wife reconnect with areas she visited as a child. Thanks, Greg

[@EatSeeRV]

Glad you enjoyed the video series in the UP! We actually filmed that entire series on our phones and go pro. We got the ZV1 starting in Wisconsin. I'd say we're 50/50 use on the ZV1 and phones. The Sony doesn't get great long shots so we still mostly get B-roll with our phones and moments lenses on our gimbal. But for vlogging and ease of use we LOVE the ZV1. It's a great starter vlogging camera to improve quality from go pro or phones but will have major limitations coming from a frameless DSLR.

[@brianjacobus722]

Fulkerson winery is a really good one too, my parents lived there for 30 years and my wife n I took my mom back there for a nice Harvest host experience, the accommodations are average but the wine is outstanding , the farm is one of the oldest in the finger lakes in Dundee NY

[@EatSeeRV]

That sounds like a really nice trip for your mom!

I taught kindergarten and 1st grade for 7 years 😊

[@carolynknisely2383]

Do you have to be a monad to use this service?

[@EatSeeRV]

No, it does offer service for rural homeowners! But I'd imagine there may be more cost effective options if you're not on the go.

[@carolynknisely2383]

@@EatSeeRV thank you.

[@OnlyInRushville]

Did you skip Keuka Lake? Heron Hill? Dr Franks? No Love my Goat? You all missed the Finger Lakes. You scratched the bougie surface and missed all the culture.
