As Nor'Easters we are familiar with food and do our best in camp, however if getting away as a group or alone with family or a loved one is in order, check it out here:

There are several pumpkin farms in the area, offering hayrides, corn mazes and other Fall type fun for the whole family an example is:

Last year our granddaughter was excused from school to attend the Fall Rally if some portion of it would be learning related and she would submit a report.

There is plenty of Early American history is within 45 minutes:

From Oneida, follow Route 46 north to the historic area of Rome. Near the intersection of Route 46 and Route 49, you can explore the charming Erie Canal Village , a reconstructed village of the early 1800s where you can take a mule-drawn packetboat ride. Part of the 524-mile Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor (http://www.nps.gov/erie), this waterway played a key role in turning New York City into a preeminent center for commerce, industry, and finance. A catalyst for growth in the Mohawk and Hudson valleys, the canals also helped open up western America for settlement.

Nearby, at Fort Stanwix National Monument on East Park Street (http://www.nps.gov/fost) in Rome, history comes alive every day, as visitors experience the sights, sounds, and ambiance of the 18th century. The reconstructed fort is the site where Revolutionary War patriots withstood a 21-day British siege. Stop at the Visitor Center for an orientation to the American Revolution in the Mohawk Valley. Explore the interactive programs, shop for one-of-a-kind gifts and souvenirs in the visitor center store, and see "Siege-1777," a 20-minute film that tells the history of Fort Stanwix. Explore the fort on your own with a free self-guided walking tour, then sign your enlistment oath with a quill pen and declare your allegiance to the Crown or to Independence.

After lunch at one of the many restaurants in Rome, travel six miles east on Route 69 to Oriskany and tour Oriskany Battlefield State Historic Site , where on August 6, 1777, New York militiamen with their Oneida allies faced down the British crown in pursuit of liberty. This battle is regarded as one of the bloodiest conflicts in the American Revolution.

Fall Foliage should be in bloom and short road trips or 2 to 6 hours north of the CG are easy round trips, I will help map a tour for anyone interested.

The boxing hall of fame is one exit away:

Golf at the Turning Stone championship courses is expensive but there are several others in the area and Fall golf in CYN is very enjoyable. If there is interest we can put something together.
