Baldwinsville
to Cayuga Lake Lock #1
35.5 miles
11.5 hours
Some days
are tougher than others, and this was one of those days. The Seneca River is 3
feet about normal, running hard to the east, so my day was uphill all the way.
The lockkeeper
let me through at 35.5 miles, and within 5 minutes I was:
- Handed a cheeseburger and a coke
Provided with a power outlet
- Shown to a lovely campsite
- Given a brief history of the issues of invasive species from the canal (i.e. the world) to Cayuga and Seneca Lakes
- Shown a faucet so I can ‘wash’
Folks, I am
so spent I’ll have to write later, and a second storm is due here in an hour,
and I still have to make camp.
I can’t
dunk, throw, dance, cook, or skate, but I can row for 11.5 hours straight and
write in a little black book. Each has his or her gifts, yes?
More
tomorrow!!
ZZZZZ
