Watkins Glen State Park
Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks located on the edge of the village of Watkins Glen, New York, south of Seneca Lake in Schuyler County. The main feature of the park is the hiking trail that climbs up through the gorge, passing over and under waterfalls. The park has a lower part that is next to the village and an upper part that is open woodland. Watkins Glen State Park is in a 400-foot-deep narrow gorge cut through rock by a stream that was left hanging when glaciers of the Ice age deepened the Seneca valley, increasing the tributary stream gradient to create rapids and waterfalls wherever there were layers of hard rock.

Depicting the Purdue Society of Professional Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, and their 300-step Rube Goldberg machine, it shows the combined engineering team smashing its own world-record for the largest functional Rube Goldberg machine on the planet. The team’s previous entry was a 244-step “Time Machine”, which you may have seen on the Discovery Channel show “BIG!” as one of its features. I can imagine the parents of the students who built the machine looking on with a mixture of pride and exasperation as their hard-earned tuition dollars are being put to, ahem, good use.
