Elmira (Harris Hill) is in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. It is one of the most pleasant places in the world in the summer. I've spent several vacations there.

.... But you've probably lived your whole life in the northeast and don't
realize how heavily you're being taxed. And did I mention mosquitoes?

I lived in the region for about 9 years and couldn't get back to the
southwest quickly enough. I guess it all has to do with what you're used
to.

I still think that you would enjoy a week at Harris Hill in August. No forest fires and daytime temps of 80d F. Green. You should fly up in your new motor glider.

You might like Vermont even better as there is no 'concealed carry' permit required.

Vermont's pretty, too, and I've XC skied there, too. I have in-laws in NH,
as well.

I can't imagine wanting to return to NY. I did make one flight in a K-21 at
Harris Hill and I delivered a Ventus there from Chicago, but I can't stand
humidity.

On the bright side, I found the motorcycling to be very good in the
Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, and Catskills and, if you've not been there, you
must visit the Glenn Curtiss Museum outside of Watkins Glen. Cross country
skiing was great, too!
