Carol:
After a delicious breakfast of pancakes and waffles with Andrew and Megan, we hit the road and headed east. We learned from Andrew that many Amish families have moved into Central NY, given the affordable land prices. This was confirmed by both the horse and buggy traffic signs, as well as the actual horses and buggies on the road. The roads were very hilly but provided beautiful views of the valley throughout. After lunch, most of the ride was on Erie Canal Bike Hike Trail, which was both shady and scenic.
Throughout the day, we debated whether or not we wanted to do the full 108 miles to Albany. Ultimately, we decided to stop around 4:30pm and make a short trip in the morning. A Warmshowers host was not able to host us but recommended making camp by a canal lock. Taking his suggestion made for a great campsite and wonderful views in the morning.
