sorry for cross posting.... Westies at Watkins XII – September 20-21-22, 2013 – Watkins Glen NY.   The countdown is on and less than a month away! Hopefully this is already on your calendars! Please join the Empire VW Camping Club on September 20-21-22 in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State for the 12th annual Westies at Watkins camping event. Discover the beauty of the glaciated area of the Watkins Glen Gorge and surrounding Finger Lakes Region of New York. Come and relax in this area and enjoy the area by hiking the gorge, biking, antiquing, shopping, wine tasting, and group activities around the campfire.   The name implies Westfalia models but ANY van/car/tent are welcome to come and participate in this event.   CAMPING INFORMATION - NO RESERVATIONS REQUIRED!   Show up and select a site in the area reserved for our group: SENECA VILLAGE CAMPING LOOP.  We will still be able to double up two vehicles per site and should have room for about 100.  Cost should be around $20/25 per site per night.   Note: This campground loop does not have electricity at the sites. If you need electricity in your van, then the only camping area at WGSP with electricity is in the Mohawk Village loop.   ACTIVITIES Gorge hike Burrito Breakfast planned for Saturday morning for the entire group (donations accepted) Communal (pot-luck) dinner at the Iroquois Lodge pavilion Saturday night Door prizes Saturday Night Race Track event on Sunday   COMMEMORATIVE EVENT T-SHIRT This year’s design art work is from Ken Mitchell (www.paintedbusart.com) and depicts our buses meandering through the Watkins Glen gorge on their way to the Glen Race track.
