Day 2 Off to Niagara Falls by car

Day 2   9/22  Newark, NJ to Niagara Falls, NY   Many miles

After sleeping as late as possible, Bob calls.  He and Glenda (and Haagu, the dog) never got out of Alaska due to weather.  They might make it by that night anyway.

We slit the seal on the boxes and they explode with bicycle parts and gear.  We cram bike parts together to make some semblance of a bike and jam gear into panniers.

I take off to the airport for the rental.  All proceeds smoothly until I try and get back to the hotel across two limited 4 lane limited entry highways.  50 minutes later I arrive back at the hotel - a whole quarter of a mile from the rental place as the crow flies.

Mary Louise has had the unenviable job of getting all the gear out of our room and waiting for me.

We store the bike boxes at the hotel, and stuff the gear and bikes into the car and take off.
