Greetings, Gentle Reader,
Tomorrow I'm back on the water...but this evening Kathy has led me through the electronic magic and enabled me to post some pictures with comments. I'll take more that I'll post when this is all over, and perhaps Kathy and Peg will post some that they take as they shadow me for a few more days. But me...starting tomorrow, my attention returns - finally - to the last 200 miles of this trip. It's (past) time to get down to it. Now, Kathy will offer guidance for those of you who, like me, might be Techno-Peasants and uncertain of how to see these flix.
Latah! Kathy?
Thanks, Al.

About Me
- Mr. Frei
- Baltimore MD and Cleverdale, NY, United States
- I'm a 70-year-old retired English teacher who lives in Baltimore from November-March and, ideally, at Lake George from April-October in a camp that's been in our family since the 30's. When I turned 55 my mom gave me an Adirondack Guideboat, and I finished that summer rowing it from Troy, NY to Baltimore (452 miles, 17 days). That experience whetted my appetite (and some confidence) to do more. Since then, I've enjoyed adventures such as Lake George to Baie St Paul (the St Lawrence), Lake Huron to Lake George (698 miles!), Kingston, Ontario to Lake George via Ottawa....and others. Last summer I rowed from LG to Keuka Lake and fell in love with Keuka, Hammondsport, and the history of what that wonderful community has done to protect its lake. What I've learned is that if you can keep yourself in the seat for 9-10 hours and just keep the oars moving, you can cover significant distances with calm and attention to detail. And...if you trust that others have a hospitable inclination or are at least permissive about allowing an old guy to camp out for a night, one can meet some great people along the way....and I sure have!

canAl,
When is you eta in Whitewall? Love to meet up and see you at the end of the row. Sounds like things are going great. Locks of luck in these final paddling days on the canal.
