[This is posted about 36 hours late: we were in a "connectivity hole) at the state park when I generated it; and after 22 miles yesterday my "tuckered" was pretty expose and I procrastinated. ] We've reached the northeast corner of Lake Erie and are overnighting in NY's Evangola State Park, in a yurt. Coming from the town of Angola, we walked in a rain again, and experienced a cold west wind coming off the lake. Spring just isn't getting to western NY. The locals are really tired of it. This has been a good day, despite the rain, wind, and cold -- we've met and engaged with several really delightful people. Google Maps is really good, but occasionally not quite accurate. We experienced an occasion of that today. A diner/grill they identified turned out to be a (the?) local golf course/club eating place (at the head of the course), open for lunch and dinner. We arrived about 9:15, just as a ladies golf club group meeting (first of the year) was completing. Despite their initial surprise at these two rather unusual men showing up with their backpacks, they responded openly and warmly to us with great cordiality and interest in us and our adventure. We experienced similar response at the local market/grocery shortly later just down the street. There's much more to both these stories, too much to recite here. There'll have to be more of it in our Facebook and Instagram accounts.
