Lightning ⚡ and the Bolt go to Letchworth

Letchworth State Park is a phenomenally beautiful State Park in the western region of the Finger Lakes in upstate NY. Often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of the East", it's a narrow park that follows the Genesee River in its gorge, through woods and over three spectacular falls.

We chose LSP as our destination cruise for the Lightning ⚡ and the Bolt. It's relatively close to home in case of major issue. TL;DR: no issues. A great test. 

The Lightning, with its extended range battery, unencumbered by a trailer, has a range of about 300 miles. With the trailer, the range is cut by a little more than half; just under 130 miles. From our perspective, charging every 100 or so miles (keeping a small reserve) just isn't a huge deal. We like to take a break every 2 or so hours anyhow; stretch the legs and empty the bladder. So we charged, once, halfway between home and the park.

Hauling a large trailer is a new experience for us so there were some nerves as we entered the campground. It was a back-on spot, unpaved with nearby trees. Slow and steady won the day and we had no trouble backing into the space.

You'll notice that there was no water or sewer hookup but there is a 50A electrical service. Water was available from a nearby spigot so we filled the tank before parking.

Staying only two nights, we used mostly our battery and solar for our electric needs. The 50A did come in handy for charging the truck for our daytime wanderings.

The trailer with its insulation and AC s cool and quiet. Very comfortable. All of the amenities, bathroom, shower, sinks, AC, fridge and freezer operated as promised. We learned a lot about what we would need to bring on subsequent camping trips.

We had a beautiful next day visiting the park and its waterfalls. A successful shakedown cruise.
