Day 2, high speed, low budget [bicycling]

Lockport continued to be awesome in the morning.

We got to watch a group of fourth graders lock through on a tour boat! I took several short videos.

On our way out of town we encountered three tall bike tourers headed the other way.

We went across a point where there’s a waterfall *under* the canal, and another spot where a road goes underneath. Not as impressive as some of the European aqueducts but still great.

Brockport has a lovely welcome center right next to the canal, with showers, laundry, space for tents on shore, and moorings for canal boats.

We had some headwinds and rain today, so I am tired and it’s time to fall asleep.

What a joy to take a trip like that! I miss being able to ride & I get vicarious enjoyment hearing about your Erie (eerie) trip. I looked at a map to see where the trail is and I looked at your photos. So fun.

Have you sung the song about the mule named Sal? I still remember parts of it, which is amazing since I would have learned it in school in the 50s.
