Day 4 - In Which we really Start!

Day 4     Niagara Falls to North Tonawanda and a $170 Econolodge     20 miles by  BIKE!

Wow, Niagara Falls are beautiful.  It's worth a trip.
Mount up!  Let's begin!  Four people over 55 years old, 4 bikes, 2 trailers, and a dog. 
After a scenic ride along the Niagara River, we turn left and go east at the Erie Canal.  We want to camp a little further along, but alas, no camping permitted.  That meant a ride along a busy Niagara Boulevard.  At the 5th hotel we checked at, there were 2 rooms at an Econolodge that would take adults and a dog.  Great!  Until the bombshell dropped - $170 per room.  Better to be sleeping other than a park bench, so we took it.  Plus, it was dark.  Turned out the Buffalo Bills were playing the next day!
