Not certain if anyone in the NY/NJ/PA/OH area would be interested in camping, but we just spent a week at Letchworth State Park in NY. It's on the Genesee river by Rochester. This park was great and I can't say enough about it. It has a 22 mile long gorge which is about 1/2 mile wide and 600 feet deep with class 1 &2 rapids in the river and some fantastic hiking through out the pack along side the gorge. The cabins were fantastic, and more importantly, bug free. If you're looking for a place to spend a week hiking and rafting, I'd strongly recommend the park to you. I didn't bring a guitar, but I'd assume the park would be guitar friendly as well.

Does that still count as the Finger Lakes or is it too far north/west?  I love that part of New York state.  It's beautiful.

thought I had responded, but I don't see the post so I must have hit the back button or something.

I believe it is still part of the finger lakes in the Lower Tier. A really pretty part of the state.

Thanks Ferg,
Thats all we do; camp.  One of these times we will get to that part of the country--only (quickly) drove thru the Adirondacks many yrs. ago.

I lived up in the adirondacks for 4 months...right in schroon lake/pottersville area...just a short drive to lake george...saratoga springs was pretty close as well...albany was about an hour...I love the fact that you can own a rifle w/out a permit up there...I purchased a .22 when I was out there...it's still sitting at my bro in laws parents house...couldn't get it past the canadian border...oh yeah, we use to ALWAYS take the "short cut" through canada to get to and from NY...I think it's dumb...it also means I'll probably never see that gun again...unless of course I feel like driving 18 hrs there, and 18 hrs back just to pick up a $200 gun...oh well
