Quickly:
after eating another filling meal, breakfast, i hit the road again. one more time, linda and bill stated their amzement at how little i carry with me. btw, there is only one thing i wish i had brought that i hadn't, and that's a pair of binoculars. otherwise, what i carried was perfect for this trip.
i rode back to niagara falls and crossed over back to the usa. when i rode up to the customs toll both, the officer asked me, quite seriously, where my vehicle was. i looked at him, and he rep3ated the question. i pointed to the bike i was sitting on and said ' this is it.' he acted amazed that i had riden it across canada, let alone from the est coast. oh, well.
since thre was no coffee house on the us side of niagara, i had to fight off the urge to go to starbucks. i did. i have still yet to go to one since i left knoxville. i patiently waited for paul while watching the weather. 40% - 60% chance of rain never matrialized. paul finally showed up around 2:30. we took a tour of the falls and goat island from the us side, then headed up river. 15 miles later, we were at the start of the erie canal.
we had a late lunch, then rode 20 miles up to lockport. at lockport we found a place to camp at a public marina/park for the night.
