Cruising onward, we passed forth into tunnels of green vegetation and open, wild-looking lands, many not yet developed by man. We had passed into the countryside west of the city, and it felt good to be leaving the busy life behind, even just for a night. The group had began quite the collection of friendly waves and smiles from passing cyclists, hikers, and boaters — the positive energy of the beautiful day seemed to be lost on no one.

The village of Spencerport was to be our next stop on our journey — an opportunity to pick up last-minute supplies for some, and for others, an opportunity to enjoy some ice cream. A thank-you to the kind folks from the Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum, who allowed us to use their facilities before heading back to the trail.
