Mar 17 (Thur) Adventures and Travel - Erie Canal

In September 2015 Allen Burrell and Gerda Eck lead a bicycle trip along the historic Erie Canal in Upstate New York. Most of our participants were Trails Club members. We pedaled 400 miles from Buffalo to Albany along the towpath, stopped in charming bed and breakfast accommodations, took one rest day in Seneca Falls to learn about the woman's suffrage movement and took a second rest day to hike in the Adirondacks. Come see the slide presentation of our trip.
Social hour 6:30 p.m, program starts at 7:00 p.m. Please bring a snack to share or $1 donation towards expenses. Guests are very welcome!
