Day 3 Brockport to Palmyra
May. 29th, 2025 08:54 pmIt rained hard overnight, but I was spared from learning the full extent to which all my everything got sopping wet until after I got up. In hindsight I should have bum-camped under the roofed portion of the Brockport Welcome Center. Hopefully I remember that in the future.
But thankfully this isn’t the Pacific Northwest so we actually had redemption weather today. Over a long lunch in Pittsford I was able to dry out both copies of my current knitting pattern.
Later on there was an REI directly off the trail, so I was able to buy 2 more pairs of wool socks since I apparently forgot any socks other than the ones I was wearing. I was also able to find an adequate replacement bike tool kit and adequate (though not great) replacement rope. The rope was then handy for a clothesline at our campsite tonight at Lock 29, and now, magically, all my things are dry again. Amazing.
Lock 29 looks like it has stories to tell but not enough storytellers.
Another interesting point today was where the Gennesee River crosses the Erie Canal, or, rather, where the canal crosses the river.
Btw I am still uploading photos to Flickr on a daily basis; annotating them is beyond my capabilities right now, but eventually I’ll have an album from this whole adventure.
