The first sunset you experience at Conesus Lake will catch you off-guard. Western New York skies stretch endlessly at dusk, a curtain of fire cascading down toward the horizon like so many of the Finger Lakes Region’s waterfalls. You’ll forget what year it is for a moment. You might be transported in time, to a more primitive era: early humans, standing in awe at what might have been the end of the world as far as they knew. The Lake is a circle; the Lake is a mirror; the Lake is time itself. It is here that you will heal and become whole.
Smoke in the sky got me feelin’ so blue / burnin’ down the city while I’m here with you

[…] There is a lull in the backyard after dinner. You bask in the quiet solitude of the yard, surrounded by people yet at peace with the space around you and your traveling family. By now the after-work crowd is shuffling in, so you prepare to disembark for your next libation destination.At the edge of the footbridge to the brewery, you stop by a pole covered from head to foot in old-fashioned wooden directional signs. “Mount Rainier, Washington – 2,400 miles.” “Grant Teton, Wyoming – 1,800 miles.” “K2, Pakistan – 7,000 miles.” Why, these are all famously tall mountains. The edges of the Earth where no man or woman ever goes. Is it really worth traveling 7,000 miles for a bit of peace and quiet?
