Finger Lake 'n Good

My apologies to KFC - I couldn't resist.  While Paul C. attended his Palm Springs junket, Gayle and I explored the Finger Lakes region of New York.  Wednesday I rode around Seneca Lake, the second biggest (I think) of the ten lakes.  They're not all that dramatic and I don't know why they draw so much attention - maybe it's all of the wineries clustered around the southern end of Seneca.
 I got a kick out of watching several artists create their masterpieces....
 It was a windy day and these sailboaters, likely taking a class, were having a hard time keeping their boats upright.
 
Today I rode part way around Cayuga Lake, before getting doused with a rain shower.  I guess it's a good thing....This area of New York is in an extended dry spell, and this waterfall on a creek flowing into Cayuga Lake is almost completely dry. 
 
I was happy that Gayle could rescue me before I got completely drenched. 
Saturday the trek resumes with an 80 mile stretch along the Erie Canal.
