34 nFebruary 2017n www.thunderpress.net THUNDER PRESS Since it was already lunchtime, we opted to dine at the lovely Glen Iris Inn, formerly the estate of William Pryor Letchworth. The inn overlooks the "middle falls," which is the water- fall most accessible to visitors. After lunch, we again dodged raindrops while angling for special effects as we photographed the falls. We took the long way back— about 25 miles of interstate heading southeast to Bath, and then snaking north, passing through the outskirts of Hammondsport and then through more back roads and forest preserves, fi nally arriving at Mr. Dominic's on Main in Fairport just in time for a mar- velous dinner. Bed N Biker was only a 10-minute ride from the restaurant, and again, we were fairly tuckered out after a long day of touring. Wednesday morning's weather was a bit more cooperative, so after an early breakfast, we headed south again, along the western shore of Canandaigua Lake and then to the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport. This was the third time I've visited in the past year, and I never tire of the fabulous collection of aircraft, boats, bicycles, cars, and motorcycles. Curtiss was an icon of the transportation world, and many of his inventions were featured in the museum. We also spent some time in the restoration shop where a 1945 Curtiss P-40N Warhawk was in the process of being restored. It will take some years before the restoration is completed to a level that will allow it to be placed on display. We enjoyed a tasty lunch at the Luna Mezza Grille in down- town Hammonsport. The restaurant has since closed and reopened as Burgers & Beer of Hammondsport. It's still under the same ownership, so I can only hope that the food is just as good. The rest of the day was spent taking a leisurely tour along the eastern shore of Keuka Lake, cutting northwest through farmlands and arriving at the Log Cabin Restaurant in time for dinner and Cruze Night, held every Wednesday throughout the summer months. It was so chilly that only a few cars showed up, but we had a nice dinner before we headed back to Bed N Biker. That evening, we got to try more of the equipment that Rick had brought along, experimenting with lighting for indoor shots. The fact that we could lounge around the living room sharing the photos we took that day as well as a sense of camaraderie that devel- ops after a few days on the road was a huge advantage to sharing a house rather than staying in a block of motel rooms.
