A day at the races.

(Note to self. Lighten up, it’s not Niagara Falls’ fault!)

Watkins Glen International (nicknamed “The Glen”) is  located near Watkins Glen, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake, New York State. The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is famous world-wide. Since 1948 thousands of races including formula one have been held at “The Glen”.

But that’s not why we are here is it. Were here to see the “Watkins Glen Ten Thousand” that is the gorge that has been cut through the shale over ten thousand years to produce the following result. Not quite as fast but very nice.
