Day 1 Schenectady to Amsterdam

 A 11.7 mile hike today from  Schenectady  to Amsterdam. A majority  of the time we were on a paved trail with a bit of walking on Route 5s also. We passed  through a few small villages including  Rotterdam Junction.  Also came across a national heritage site, Mabee Farm Historic site. There are a few bikers on the trail and we did run into another  couple who were also hiking  the trail with  their  dog. They are tenting it. Tonight  we stayed in an old NYS Armory which has been converted to a hotel. Very cool. It is called the Amesterdam  Castle.

Day 10 Canastota to Weedsport and THE BOSS

Image
 We jumped ahead  here with a ride from my son in law. We were looking to do 10 today but a slight miscalculation on my part led to 13.5m. We had Kathy sister, Karen walk with us today.  Again great weather day. And the trail was mostly  stone dust. We found a nice swing set along the way. And a place to take a break and rest our dogs. More  pictures  from the day. Tomorrow  🌧.  And finally  I leave with a song that we start and end our day with. Check it out we have Bruce Springsteen jamming it out! Erie Canal  HIT THIS LINK.

 Today is the first of 3 days on the bike to our final destination Buffalo. A 33m ride today. With a stop in Brockport for lunch. A big thanks to Tom and Diane for a lift to our starting point on Greece. Trail was all stone dust today and right along the canal. We had lunch  at Barbers and will spend the night at Andrea's and Jesse house, Bill and Shelly's daughter and son in law. Jess is also a pilot, so Kathy and I also enjoy a ride in a plane, very cool.  Enjoy today's pics.
