NATURE LOVERS BEWARE. You may find it hard to leave this place. Our excursion into Labrador’s natural setting provides ample opportunity to view a variety of wildlife and vegetation that will keep you spellbound... Maybe it's too much of a stretch, but some may find it intriguing.
We will meet at Byrne Dairy, 5829 State Rte. 20 Lafayette, NY at 10:15am. After a driver meeting, we will depart at 10:30 for Labrador Unique Area. Travel seventeen minutes (10.80 miles via CR-3 and Rt-91). We will take the accessible boardwalk to the pond and back to parking lot. This is about a 20-minute walk.
Then we will travel to Tinker Falls about five minutes away and for those who wish, hike to the falls. We will spend about 30-45 minutes there. If there are no bathrooms open, we will travel to Circle K, 5755 Rt 80 Tully, NY (15 minutes, 7 miles via Rte-80 and Rt-91) for a potty break. From there, we will travel to the Hollywood Restaurant, 27 Groton Ave Cortland, NY (15 miles, 25 minutes via Rt 11 south) all the way. Watch for a large bird's nest overhead and cows in the fields.
Reservations are at the Hollywood for 1:30. Please be advised that they normally don't do separate checks for parties over four. The Hollywood is a trip back in time, with the iconic statue of Marilyn Monroe, movie posters of Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne etc. It's a fun place to eat. Food is tasty and reasonably priced, and the wait staff is friendly. There is ample parking in their adjacent parking lot.
After lunch, around 3:00pm, we will head to Super Cream Dairy Bar, 75 N. West St. Homer, NY, for their delicious homemade ice cream. Then head home around 4:00 via Rt-281 and US-11 (23 minutes, 20 miles), to savor the memories of a wonderful day with wonderful Miata club friends.
Please join us!
RSVP to Debbie Bogan, dybogan@twcny.rr.com, by August 30 if you plan to eat at the Hollywood and contact your Area Rep if you plan to go.
