We are over 700 miles now! We are now in a small town in Westfield, NY, a cool 85 mile trip from Niagara Falls. We were in Niagara for the 4th and I must say, their fireworks were lackluster at best. But we did have some great Chinese food and walk around the Canadian side covered in casinos and too many lights. We had so much time thanks to our short 18 mile day into Niagara, sadly it was made longer by the fact I got my first flat (a pinch flat) right off the bat. But that was fixed quickly, but my tube was defective so I had to borrow Isaiah's tube.
Our route today led us through Buffalo, NY. and I was reminded how much I like driving in the city. I had a lot of fun even though we stopped every 300 feet for a red light. John, John, Bobby and I stopped at a Frank Lloyd Wright estate along the Seaway Trail along Lake Erie. I guess I would call it "Great", it was pretty big, I'll give it that. So far on our trip we have had 4 total days with no rain, the last two days were fortunately included there, so our 4th was enjoyable and our trip around with the Canuks.
So I'd like to say thank you to my mom and my grandma for their packages at the past maildrops as well as Mary Lee Griswold for her donation and Linda and David Duff for their donation and visiting us in Indian Lake. They brought us all fruit, chocolate and other foodstuffs, it was AWESOME!!! It helped me get through my tough day.
Thank you again to all the people I've talked to and who have helped me, I am having a great summer!

I never caught the fireworks in Westfield, but I can imagine how they might be.
My wife is out there right now, visiting her grandparents, but she was lucky enough to catch three different fireworks shows here in the Dayton area before she left.
Biking through there must be nice, though. The drive is gorgeous enough, but you miss so much.
Luck to you on your journey.
