Oregon to Buffalo for the Across America Trekkers

8/13 We woke up on the farm and cooked eggs to put on bagels with melted cheddar and cream cheese, then trekked 40 miles to the Canadian border. 
We rode on bike paths the whole way and once we made it to Port Colborne John and Lydia recognized the route from Leadership Training. In Buffalo we were greeted by Teen Treks Director Cliff for lunch of cheeseburgers and potato salad. We made our way to Lydia's house and Bruce Fisher took the kids to Niagara Falls while John and Lydia planned out New York. We had an amazing Thanksgiving Dinner with the Fisher family and the Madell family, ate pumpkin pie for dessert, and finally watched a movie--Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

Lake Ontario Trekkers Complete the Circle and Arrive in Buffalo a Day Early


Lake Ontario Trekkers land in Buffalo!   Buffalo is such an amazing place we couldn't wait to get there. So we biked 70 miles today to get there one night earlier than expected, we all just secretly wanted the wings. It was an easy ride along the Erie Canal, staying together and cheering each other on to the finish line. Only one flat tire and one gallon of ice cream until we made it into Buffalo and had wings for dinner. Tomorrow will be a day to explore the city.
