June 19, Wolcott, NY

Our travel time today was short. This is our camp site at Cherry Grove Camp Ground in Wolcott, NY. This village is at the southern edge of Lake Ontario. We decided to take in some sites this afternoon since we got settled in early enough in the day.

A small boat marina just off the road along the lake.

We are at Sodus Point to see one of the historic lighthouses. This one is no longer in use since another one has been built to the east and farther out into the lake.

The front entrance of the lighthouse keepers house which is attached to the lighthouse. This lighthouse is not as tall as most. We take a tour of the place and learn of it's history.

The back of the building showing the attached lighthouse.

This house was once a boarding house and is across the street and west of the lighthouse.

We meet some of our camping neighbors and learn that thy all live in Wolcott, but keep their trailors in this camp ground on a seasonal basis. The couple next to us is the parents of the woman right behind them, and her inlaws are camped across the rodaway. They all live within 5 miles of the camp ground, but think of this as a get-away without having to pay the price of gasoline to get there. They can also "go camping" without have to miss any days of work. We have a nice visit with them all and learn about things to see in the area.
