July 2 - Baldwinsville, NY

We made it back to Baldwinsville.  Never heard of Baldwinsville?  We were last here on our 2006 cruise when the canal flooded and we were stuck for a week.  We tell people that we spent a week in Baldwinsville one night.

The last time was the Fourth of July and we had fireworks right over the boat and a concert by Shania Twin at the amphitheater just across the water.  This time it's the Grateful Dead (without Jerry Garcia) tonight and the Allman Brothers (or some version) followed by fireworks both nights.  The river walls are free and we have a front row.

The Erie Canal is beautiful west of Sylvan Beach. We crossed Lake Oneida on a beautiful day and cruised past some beautiful summer homes (they call them camps) along the way.
On Saturday we'll head up to Oswego, NY to prepare to cross Lake Ontario to Canada.
Although we have flash flood warnings this afternoon.  Could be another week in Baldwinsville tonight.  Although we're not complaining as we see the hurricane Arthur news down south.
Pictures to follow.
