Father's Day in the Finger Lakes Region

Father's Day here in the Finger Lake region was partly sunny. It was a beautiful day for a 70 mile bike ride. We rode through Geneva which sits on the shore of Seneca Lake, one of the Finger Lakes. We recalled riding in this area with our friends from the North Hall Bike Club from Akron several years ago.

Just outside of Syracuse, we stopped at the Erie Canal Park. Of course, Janie had to think (and sing) the song from grade school:

I've got a mule, and her name is Sal,

Fif-teen years on the Er-ie canal,

She's a good ol' worker and a good ol' pal;

Fif-teen years on the Er-ie canal...

Low Bridge, ev'ry bod-y down...

We left Los Angeles six weeks ago this morning. It is hard to fathom that we have ridden all of the way to Syracuse since then. We still have several days of riding and need to focus on that before we think too much of home and whatever we may find there! Thanks to some good neighbors, we think our place will be in good shape.
