Day 16 Albion to Lockport

 Day 2 on the bikes. 25 m today. We rode mostly on stone dust, and right along the canal. We took a break about every 10 miles or so. We did find an old man along the trail and got a picture with him. Lockport is a great place to visit. The picture of the three men sitting on lock steps is a recreation of a picture taken during the construction of the canal. They are to be dedicated this Saturday.   We stayed on a nice locally owned hotel,Lockport Inn and Suites.  Highly recommended. Below are pictures taken along the ride and in Lockport. Enjoyed.

He was 72. According to TripAdvisor,  "Prophet Isaiah's Second Coming House"  ranks No. 36 among the 112 things to do in Niagara Falls. "You have to admire the creativity and endurance spent pa

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.
