JULIETTE AND BOONE

This wonderful little girl and her Bernese doodle did most of the lifting on my end anyway.  She was so worried about our backs and I didn't even get to tell her that Dennis is almost 80.  She was a huge help.  She jogs the entire trail regularly from BlueMount I guess to York.  Incredible.  We pretty much thought we had seen the worst of the downed trees and felt quite proud of ourselves for getting through this mess.  We were so wrong.

  DAY 7  July 14. Green Bay WI Today was one of our longer drives.  It took us 4 1/2 hours to drive from St Ignace around the top of Michigan on Lake Michigan's shore line.  It was an interesting drive, a few really nice houses on the water  and so many trees!!  Sometimes they form a wall which looks impenetrable.  They changed in density once we hit Wisconsin.   We were able to check into the Hampton Inn at noon so we did and immediately went for a bike ride on the Fox River Trail which stayed paved for 11 miles and then changed to crushed stone.  The top photo expresses city pride.  They have a very nice waterfront area, bars and restaurants and lots of condos. right on the trail.  We rode through some neighborhoods of million dollar homes complete with tennis courts overlooking the river and some condos and townhouses, a real mix.  Outside of the city limits the trail left the river and passed by some big farms.  At mil...

The street light is straight.  The little 5 foot wide house directly behind the light is the smallest house in Amsterdam, only 2 floors and only 5 feet wide.  Mostly photos of Amsterdam-- Dennis's photo of me taking a photo of "the dancing sisters".  The end houses look to be leaning toward the open alleys.  These homes have been here for many years but a good many of them are very tipsy.

Cohoes Falls in May 2018 Cohoes falls in May 2018  Sunday, July 28, 2024 Schenectady to Cohoes This was an exceptionally beautiful part of the canal trail.  Freshly paved, very shady, lots of curves and hills.  We were able to see the Mohawk River at one part and the Cohoes Falls both of which are pretty impressive.  But the highlight of the ride was meeting Jimmy's sisters and families for lunch.  Dennis found the perfect place and time for us to meet.  We were able to ride our bikes from the falls to a neighborhood bar in Cohoes  and meet everyone at 11:30 giving us plenty of time to have lunch and return to Schenectady by 3:00. It took us an extra mile or two to find the car but we were on the road by 3:00 and home at 10:00.   Overall, a great trip!!!
