From Lakawanna they peddled as far as Spencerport and camped in the park there. A hard driving rained pummeled them all night long which either lulled them to sleep or kept them awake, I'm not sure which, but I can say that they emerged from their tents bone dry. The next day (Friday) was clear and beautiful. They met a guy, (Herbert) about Leah's age who was bicycling East to meet some friends and they chatted it up to discover that he was from the Old Pueblo, Tucson AZ, Leah's home town. They knew a lot of the same people, in fact Herbert saw Sam Fuller just the other day in Vermont. Herbert is going to ride from NY to Tucson this fall with a group of friends.
They rode along the Erie Canal and watched as huge boats were floated uphill by the giant locks and landed in Palmyra around midday and were "power eating" a huge lunch at a local bar when I spoke to them. They were planning to head north another 20 miles to camp on the banks of Lake Ontario.
