New York's Finger Lakes

We visited the Elmira, New York, area over Labor Day Weekend of 2013. This was my first single-pilot IFR trip, with no other pilots, let alone instrument pilots, aboard, since I finished my rating in May of 2013, and it was IMC in both directions. Nothing much to look at outside at 8000' on the trip west, and I was happy to see the destination runway come into view as we came in on the ILS. The eastbound trip had even worse weather. High workload for me!
