Rochester, NY

Sacket's Harbor, Southwick Beach, Fair Haven past Oswego, Sodus Point Lighthouse. The drive along Rt 3 and then 104 was today's route,a continuation on the Great Lakes Seaway Trail. I thought we left Sodus Bay behind when we left Fair Haven, only to find another Sodus Bay at Sodus Point. It turns out there are multiple Sodus bays with different names. This one was the real Sodus Bay and Fair Haven was on Little Sodus. There is Blind Sodus as well.

A terrible looking storm brewed when we stopped for lunch at McDonald between Fair Haven and Sodus Point. By the time we got out, I could smell that indelible scent of rain. It barely wetted the pavement where we were, but it must dumped a shower further down. Fog was rising from the asphalt and warm humidity permeated the air. I was back in NC again. Only with achy and sickly body in an electric rather than 16 year old in 68 Rambler.

We arrived Rochester Extended Stay before 4 PM. The original plan was to make it to Toronto after stopping at Niagara, but that was too ambitious. Hotels were cheaper in Rochester too, so we decided to rest here. It was too early to bed down for the night though. We took some rest and drove to High Fall and then Eastman Museum of Photography and Film. Museum closed at 5, so we were out of luck. We charged up the car and came back at 7PM.

Yesterday was a struggle for some reason, despite the rest day before. Then I recovered today. It's as if the effect of the rest was delayed 48 hours rather than 24. Likewise the effect of activities of 8/8-8/9 taking effect yesterday after 48 hours. Not sure if the lingering effect of cold has anything to do with it. There are so many unknown variables that effects the conditions, I only can get 25-50% correlation between the activities and fatigue the next day. The signal to noise ratio is not high enough to make a good prediction.
