Amsterdam to Latham (about 10 miles from Albany)
34.4 mi
5 miles on S5 NY state bike route and all the rest on a paved path. The Erie Canal Heritage Trail signs still guide us, but we are on the Mohawk-Hudson Trail.
We've seen lots of Halloween decorated homes along the way.
Nature is reclaiming even the expanded canal of 1862. The Canal behind us not used since 1918, but the path remains...many sections for snowmobile riding Dec 15 to Mar 20.
The upper level nearing lock 8...getting close to the end.
Up a hilly narrow road to an out of the way Super 8. Walked 2 miles round trip to "Market Bistro(Price Cutter). Got dark and used cell phone torch for safely walking the dark shoulder back. Shower, veggies and good night's sleep.
