The former depot has become a photography shop. I love it when these old stations can be saved and repurposed.
The trail follows the rail bed for most of the miles we walked today. This is a truly lovely walk. The surface is cinder, so it's not as hard on your feet as pavement. And unlike a lot of rail-trails, the sides are flanked by tall trees which provide wonderful shade. You can see that the leaves have totally popped in the last few days. Things smelled green!
In a lot of places the railroad was beside creeks that burbled as they flowed through rocky beds.
There was a section of roadwalk, but it was a keeper with distant views of Oneida Lake and beautiful farms. Oneida Lake is not technically a Finger Lake, but sometimes it's called "the thumb."
Did you notice that I said "we walked?" Sarah hiked with me again today.
It was hot, but not quite so brutal with some cloud cover and the lovely shade on most of the trail
Miles today: 15.5. Total miles so far: 2137.6.

Beautiful photos! I thought of you this week as I hiked 2 sections of the NCT in Northern MN w/friends. We only went 4 miles each time, but it was after biking 40 miles earlier in the day...lots of MUD there! We spread the word about your walk and the NCT w/the others in our camp ground. Keep up the good work! Glad you had a buddy to walk w/you!
What a beautiful area to hike through. Love those views.
Lulu: "Oneida Lake! Dada says you're really getting close to his old territory now!"
Kathie- I'll be at the Celebration
Ann- It sure was nice
Lulu- Oneida Lake is big. I'm moving away from it now, toward Rome.
