Margie's Family Reunion

Margie was reunited today with son John and husband John.  She will have to fill in the blanks on her story until her return to the fold.  What I do know is the new threesome enjoyed the Lady of the Mist today and made their way to Toronto for some art museums and exploration for two days.  Some time on the third day they will find Mike, Ray and I on the road to New Hampshire and our foursome will continue with our adventure.

In the meantime we have had an amazing two days on the roads and in the small but oh so lovely New York towns along the Erie Canal and today along Lake Ontario.  I have to constantly remind myself that the winters are brutal (for sure from a San Diego Perspective) as the towns have sooooo much charm and charisma that you would think that Karissa populated them all.....(inside joke but all who know Karissa this really is not a joke....a truism.)

Tonight we are camping in Soltus Point New York.  Last night was Brockport along the Erie Canal and the locks.  Great place last night.  My favorite camping so far.  We checked out the welcome center and they gave us beautiful, free camping on the canal with keys to the restrooms and showers.  Two great little bars for the country flavor and great steak at one of the bars along with drinks.  Then a mile hike down to Abbots for ice cream, home made ice cream sundaes and root beer floats.  Early morning coffee and oatmeal (opened early at Colleen's) and off on the road.  Found our way to a mall in Rochester and at last found a t-mobile location for a new phone for Ray.  Margie, facebook competition in your mist now that Ray is once again connected.  He has been without a phone since Oregon.......how long ago that seems.

I have Mike in my mist.....his thoughts of the moment are:  "It was like riding an accordion today,  up and down, up and down.  Beautiful homes along the canal and Mike and the Bike were a uniform grey color......
