Monday July 9

Today we traveled from Medina to Pittsford, a total of 55 miles. As a rookie camper, I was amazed at the heavy dew on everything at 5:30 as I started to tear down the tent. The air was cool and sunny at 7:30 as we headed out. Leaving Medina there are two rare canal features. At one point a local creek flows under the canal. At a second location, the canal goes over a road - the only place this happens.

As we got close to Rochester, we passed the junction of the canal and the Genesee River - just like an auto intersection - the mingling of Lake Erie water with the Genesee!

My friend Sal brought some Labatts and I shared one with Jack, a retired Albany Firefighter. It sure went down smooth after a long day. Tomorrow, on to Seneca Falls, 60 mile day.

  1. Uh if you're in Rochester Tom, and at the crossing of the Genesee...shouldn't that beer have been a Genny Cream Ale?
