Driving Home from Upstate


For years when we went up to Geneva to visit Kathy's mom and then my friends in Rochester, NY we always took the New York State Thruway up to Albany and then west to Rochester.  Then a friend at work suggested taking route 17, which took us along a more rural route, to Binghamton and then Route 96 from there to the Finger Lakes and Geneva.  We love this route because 96 is a two lane road through farm country and we love looking at the farmhouses and barns and scenery.  So on the way home today I actually STOPPED the car to take this view of a farmer's field!


When we first started out today we did run into some minor now showers and you can see the road is wet here and there is some haze in the distance.  Just a random scene along route 66.  Weather was good today, and traffic was light most of the way home, which we were really thankful for.

Nice photo of farmland. It is definitely a more scenic route and looks so quiet and peaceful there. Amazing how little traffic there is. Trace

It’s lovely to see the simple farmland with the soft colors of sky and fields.
