DAY THREE of September 2017 trip to Watkins Glen, NY HEADING HOME

After checking out of the SENECA LODGE, we headed towards Hammondsport to go to the 

Glenn H. Curtiss Aviation Museum .  

We were there for about two hours because we watched the documentary about Glenn's life, which was very good and told the WHOLE story (which involved lawsuits against Glenn by the Wright Brothers).  It was lunch time when we exited, so we had our picnic lunch outside the museum.

Then we headed up the west side of Keuka Lake with the goal of going to KEUKA LAKE STATE PARK, which was at the top of the lake a bit east.  A detour took us out of our way, but we were able to find it. The main park road seemed to be closed, so we did not spend much time there, but we did walk part of a trail hoping to find this cemetery.
NO LUCK!   When I got home I did a bit of research and found that the cemetery is at an undisclosed location, with hopes to preserve it better from vandalism.  It was a lovely trail anyways!  
Then we headed west towards home, but I had deliberately chosen a route that would take us through an Amish area west of Penn Yan.  We went to an Amish bulk food store that we had not visited before and then to a great Amish farm stand on a side road:
Our plans had been to have supper at the LOG CABIN RESTAURANT in Indian Fall, and we arrived there about five twenty p.m.  We both had the fish fry and it was good.  Here is a picture of the falls, which is behind the restaurant.
It has been such a dry summer and there is not much water flowing over the edge.  I hope to go and see it again when the falls is bigger!
