day 16

I had a long ride from Hartford, CT to Cape Vincent, NY, right on the Saint Lawrence River where it meets Lake Ontario.  It wasn't really that long in terms of miles, 350, but they were all going to be on winding back roads.  I got an early start to avoid the morning rush through some of the smaller towns and was making good time, in spite of the rain.  The are some of the roads I was riding on.

Eventually the rain ended, but the curvy roads did not.

I finally arrived at Ken and Joanna's (friends of my aunt Karen and uncle Dan) place on Cape Vincent.  After a tour of their property, all the way down to the river, they gave me a tour of the 1000 Islands area, providing detailed history and background based on their years in the area.

After a nice dinner, there was a beautiful sunset over the river.
