We started today with the last historical site of the area, the Peter Whitmer farm in Fayette New York. This is the site where the first official church meeting took place and the church was officially registered and organized. Six people attended this meeting and today church membership is over 8 million and growing globally annually.
We then drove to Lock 29 on the Eerie Canal and did a 20km cycle along the canal trail. On the cycle, we came across a “Kamakaze” chipmunk that ran across the trail right under the wheel of my bike. I don’t know how I missed him and I nearly ended up going down the steep slope and into the canal! We have seen many of these cute animals and they often run out in front of the bikes, so we have to been on our guard. Of course they never stay still long enough to photograph.
We were able to watch a pleasure boat go through a lock with a 16 feet height difference. The lock fills so quickly that the boat visibly rises while you are watching it. Liam captured in on video. We finished the cycle with a picnic under the big trees in a beautiful park by a waterfall and then played some Frisbee. I need to practice my throwing skills. Sometimes it was anybody’s guess where the Frisbee was headed!
