One More Day until Niagara

The only thing on my mind right now is that we get to go to the Canadian side of Niagara falls tomorrow. Today was a relatively short day compared to the past days. The terrain was almost none existent, so we were making really good time. The only thing slowing us down was the rain. It cleared for a while around lunch, before claiming two victims of falls because of a nasty lip in the ground around a turn covered by a puddle. After lunch I was pacelining with Nate and Nick. We were averaging about 20 mph until it started to absolutely downpour. The rain didn't stop us it just hindered our speed. By the time the rain cleared again, we were pretty much done our 60 mile day in under 4 hours. Getting in early in the day gave us time to explore Lockport, NY. We walked down to the Canals on the Erie. To get a better look, we took a tour of the Lockport caves, or man-made tunnels made to operate the canals when the were first build. We also worked out donation magic there and got $9 tickets for $5 a piece. The tour consisted of a walk along the canals with explanations and then a walk in the caves followed by a boat ride in the caves. It was really interesting and fun. We had a good day and my chore group did laundry tonight so we didn't have to while at the Falls tomorrow!
