Border Run
Yesterday, I took a little ride,
I went by Lake George:
The Fiat is running great:
I went across the Champlain Bridge:
and wound up in Burlington, VT:
I did the Island line trail:
on which I wound up getting lost, but did find the Highlight - the two mile causeway onto the Lake:
and they have a bike ferry.
It was $8, so I passed. I cam back and found a parking ticket on my little green machine. I thought there would be free parking downtown on Saturday. wrong. They were having a festival, and I was told it would be Ok to Park on the grass. wrong again. I had a very good lunch at the Shanty(maple salmon), and set off for my next stop:
Rouses Point is right on the Border. New York is on my left, and Quebec is on my right here:
Back in the usa:

The Pilgrimage
Well, It fits:
so I headed out to Fort Hunter and then on to Canajoharie. Here's a neat church in Fultonville:
Here's the trail. It's an old railroad with a crushed gravel surface:
you parallel the Mohawk:
and ride through some Amish areas:
I decided to turn around in Sprakers:
and then headed over to the National Shrine of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha:
Kateri was a Mohawk native American who converted to Catholicism and was beatified by Pope benedict XVI.
The shrine itself dates from the 1780's and is worth a visit.
I guess the next time I'm out that way, I'll have to if I can make up the hill to the National Shrine of the North American Martyrs

memphis-O'hare-Albany
Well, it was time go back to work:
Memphis Airport: not quite what it was:
we're now number 2 on cargo airports:
But Southwest will fly to the rescue, right:
That looks better:
FedEx is always busy:
You, in the DC-9: Pull over!
I flew to O'Hare on Trans States/ United Express:
I had supper:
and ambled about:
I always think this should be at Mdw. It looks too much like a Southwest livery:
Commander O'Hare's Plane:
and soon it was off to Albany on Mesa with the 'Classic' paint:

Back in the Air
Well, I went to Memphis again. This time I had a 5:45am flight, so I had breakfast at the airport:
Look, it's Spumoni's Brother:
American usually doesn't come here. This was a diversion:
Out on the Tarmac:
and over the Catskills:
and then New York City:
switch planes in Newark:
A Giant stadium:
and then land in Memphis:
Things are smaller in Texas:
we went to the Civil Rights museum:
and Mud Island:
where I visited Cape Girardeau:
and then paid my Respects to the King(59 years to the Date of his first concert at the Shell):
