8/2 Niagara Falls ON to Boston MA, Albany NY or Tupper Lake NY

We were up early and made our way to Attica NY to meet Eric's friend Tim Fisher who had been bicycling from the west coast since late June. See Tim's blog at http://fishericross.blogspot.com . It's a great blog. Tim's observations and adventures and his accomplishment is incredible. Lou and I are going to peddle across in 2010! It was great to meet Tim and hear his stories over breakfast first hand. We stayed together until mid-afternoon when we separated at Exit 34 (Utica) on the Thruway. Eric and Lou, it was all I expected and more. It could only have been better if brothers Dave and Al were with us. I love you guys. Hope to Tupper and my lovely wife Sadie by 6:00 pm. 6653 miles for me from Alaska to home. I hope you've enjoyed my posts. Your comments are appreciated. If you have any questions about going cross-country on a motorcycle we can certainly advise you on what to do, what not to do, what to bring and what to leave behind. The most important thing is to allow enough time and don't become an intinerary zombie. The ride is at least if not more important than the destinations. At some point I will put a powerpoint together that illustrates these blog entries. Finally, I want to thank my wife for the understanding and freedom to let me embark on this adventure. She OK'd the sale of the old bike, purchase of the new bike, and 21 days away from home while she dealt with all the domestic situations. Sadie, you are the best!
