Wednesday 8/26: Brockport, NY

We've traveled a total of 14 miles in the last two days - what a far cry from the 30-50 mile days on Lake Erie! Spent Tuesday night in Holley, NY. So far it has our vote as the 'most like the Trent' stop. And more boats than we've seen the entire stay on the canal so far! The docks were actually filled for the night.
Biked to a fun waterfall - Steve wanted to climb up it but in the end decided to just ride around and look at it from the top. The bike trail continues to follow the canal (it has been with us since we left Tonawanda) and apparently follows the canal for more than 100 miles. We have seen may people using the path but haven't seen anyone that appears to be camping along it.
Steve caught two more fish: this giant carp and then later in the evening a large catfish. The catfish was an accident (my term) as we were actually just sitting around visiting with the couple in the boat in front of us when one of the guys we met yesterday on a canalboat came over and told Steve he had a fish on his line!
We're waiting around this morning for the two fish needlepoints (one mine, one Wendy's) to be framed. Will post pictures of them tomorrow!
The closer to Rochester we get the more TV stations we get also. We were able to watch the programs about Ted Kennedy - it reminded me of the trip to Washington DC last year when we actually saw him on the Senate floor.
