Day 7 Day of the Missing Wallet

Day 7    9/27     Albion to Brockport   ? miles

Not all goes as planned.  A bit of rain, but not enough to get out the rain jackets.  Brockport was a pretty little town with a business district that was alive and well - unlike some  of the towns that we had come through in the last couple of days.  Mary Louise got a new bike seat at Bicycle Outfitters Brockport.  It was great to be able to try different ones and have a real person help without getting irritated that you didn't just buy the first one.

Uh-oh.  Bob realizes that he didn't have his wallet.  Not a good thing.  He had taken a spill earlier in the day on the trail and items had fallen out of the front handlebar bag.  He wondered if it had fallen out and he hadn't seen it on the ground.  A call back to the Schoolhouse B&B confirmed that they hadn't seen it.  Here's Bob and Haagu and our gear in the back of the truck.

The short story is that Enterprise had no cars so we rented the smallest U-haul we could.  After driving all the gear and girls out to the Gingerbread B&B (another great B&B, but a bit farther off the Canal) Bob and I took our bikes to go look on the trail.  Luckily, before we got too far on the trail, Bob got a call that Jeri had found it.  They would deliver it that evening to our B&B!!!!  WHEW!  Lost . . . and found again.
