Tuesday evening at Lock 30

Al spent the night of the 24th at Lock 30, near Macedon, NY. It was a 30-mile day. Apparently, he tried to stay in Fairport, NY (the jewel of the Erie Canal), but they wouldn't let him sleep there, so he continued on to the lock, so that he would be ready to go through it Wednesday morning.

We haven't heard from him today, and think it is due to a bad cell phone signal. Hopefully, there will be more news tomorrow!

So, maybe if he's lucky, Albert will be spending tonight in lovely Clyde, NY, population about 2200, which is good, because only maybe two of them will be cops who might wake him up as he sleeps in the public parks.
Ahh .... Clyde .... named after the river in Scotland, it was once a major manufacturer of peppermint oil.
And interestingly, German POWs were held in Clyde during World War Two. But I'll bet they never saw an Aryan like Albert, bulked on YooHoo and Chinese takeout. Lookout Clyde!
I note with interest that Clyde has a restaurant called "Aunt Ju Jus Chew Chew" and I just hope Albert takes the time to check it out and report back on what that's all about.
And my advice is, stay in Clyde. After that is the Montezuma National Wildlife refuge, and the town of Montezuma, which could be a kind of revenge for pushing too far.
The only restaurant in town: The Clifford House, and Albert, unless you've been sneaking in a shower here and there, they're not likely to serve you.
