The Finger Lakes area is still beautiful, but you wouldn’t want to see the D & C these days. Pitiful. Taxes are worse than ever.

By "D and C", do you mean the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal (C&D Canal)?

I am from the Finger Lakes area. Back in the 70's, you could buy "camps" right on the water for a very reasonalbe sum.

Today, the taxes alone will kill you. All the locals Democrats get together and raise taxes on them like you would not believe. If you have a nice home on a lake like Skaneateles, you better have won the lottery or have made millions on Wall Street, even for a modest home like this.
