Month: October 2016

A full day of driving, taking some backroads through the Adirondack Mts, admiring the start of the fall colors.

And then: Maine at last!  

Total trip: 3,662 miles in 10 days

Stayed with good friends, Rick and Sharon in Syracuse.

Started with a night around the famous Monroe Firepit.  (Sorry, didn’t get a photo).

Took a couple hikes through the local woods, where I learned to push over dead trees.

Then Rick took us to the local apple farm where we toured (tasted) the produce.

Finished off the day with dinner at the famous Dinosaur BBQ in downtown Syracuse.

From Rochester Hills, the shorter route to NY is through Canada. (Remember to bring passports.)

And just before crossing back into the USA, we stopped at famous Niagra Falls, which earns its fame.

And just across from the Falls, is a tribute to our friend Tesla (no, not Elon – Nikola).

Actually to Rochester Hills, just north of Detroit, to visit Peter’s brother Dan and his family.

Another day of plain plane driving: more cornfields than you ever knew existed.

Arrived at ORD (in the rain) about the same time as Peter’s flight.  Connections made.
