Day 69: Rochester to Baldwinsville, NY. 76 miles.

We were on the road early. We wanted to take advantage of the cool weather and relatively flat route.  We were finished by 1:30 including two meal stops. Sharon had another flat tire (back) just as we were coming into town.

Our hotel is right by Erie canal lock #24, the Seneca River dam and the small downtown.  Very convenient. Sharon got a haircut. (She was trying to wait until she could get home to Pam, but could not!)

We hoped to go through an  Amish community because they have great food. All we saw was the sign on the road to get our hopes up. We did have some great tomatoes from the roadside stand. We also bought a small berry pie that we will eat sometime tomorrow when we get a scoop of ice cream.  We tasted elderberries which was one of the pie choices, somewhat bitter so we went with a known variety.

We ate at a small diner in town. We put some in the refrig for snacks tomorrow.  Utica, NY is tomorrows destination.

Thanks for the Erie Canal pics. That is something I've never seen. I would like to see some of the Amish too if I was back there. Saying that make them sound like a tourist attraction...sorry didn't really mean it that way.
