I’d been thinking my layover in Rochester would be a slam | click. I mean the place is on a cement island amidst freeway ramps. Might as well be holed up in my hotel room. NOT ! Did spot a greenway trail behind the building and — what a find! Miles and miles of pathway along the Erie Canal system. Great for jogging. Most of the original tow paths along the abandoned portions have been converted. You can’t see much of the canal water for the dense brush that has filled in but that’s okay. Green is good.
Yes, but when you see a sign that reads Love Canal jog backwards….fast. Place is full of toxic stuff seeping from the ground. You probably didn’t know that being a surfer dude from CA but those of us who grew up eastways know the Erie Canal system isn’t lovely in all spots……
