Closing In On It

June 26, 2024

Vernon to AmsterdamHi

Another beautiful day, beautiful ride. We spent the day on trails along the Erie Canal or the Mohawk . Mostly the trails were paved but even the short sections where they were unplaved they were in good condition!

Lunch was an interesting break at a Jesuit site called The Martyrs Shrine. We were able to set up our lunch in a large modern air conditioned hall. It was getting hot and humid so the hall provided welcome relief.

Meet Mary, Ezra, and Maria. Mary is riding across the country on a motor cycle with Ezra in a specially constructed bed on a motorcycle. Go to Dog On A Hog.com to learn about Mary’s project to earn money for Roswell Park. We chatted about her effort for quite a while! Impressive!!

Back on the canal. These posts are where boats can tie up while waiting their turn in the lock.

These were the first hogs I saw on these bike trips.

This guy was as curious about me as I was of him.
