Your pictures will have to suffice. Good thing you're so good at taking great photos :o) Can't wait to get together after you are finished so I can see ALL of your photos and stories.

Even though I missed out on the view, I am still glad that I went up there. Renting a houseboat in Alex Bay would be very nice, I am sure. It is a great place!Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-84221533020177590572010-07-19T02:08:37.844+01:002010-07-19T02:08:37.844+01:00Gary,

At least you got to cool off in the tunnel! Must have felt good after the excessive heat. Your pics of Boldt Castle and Alexandria Bay bring back memories. Rented a mini houseboat there for a couple of weeks way back when. It's a beautiful area, ride included. Looking foward to your journey.

There were lots of people swimming in Moose River, right at that rock. Yep, I knew about the heart shaped island – it was talked about in a short film I watched at the castle. Thanks again for your suggestions.<br /><br />Chuck – I think you are probably right. I saw more today riding along Lake Ontario. In a comment on another post, Rich has said they are used to monitor the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle.<br /><br />Donna / Froggi –Thanks and welcome to my blog! I hope that you have as much fun in New York and New England as I did.Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-15497876804528586612010-07-18T20:30:06.617+01:002010-07-18T20:30:06.617+01:00Beautiful photos...been years since I hit that are...Beautiful photos...been years since I hit that area.

Moose River Road used to be all tore up but they fixed it and it is a fun ride! I can't believe you took pictures of that big rock where we used to stop and watch the same activity each time we'd go. I know the Riveredge very well, (I worked with a student that worked there during the school day!) Did you learn that Boldt Castle is on a heart shaped island...Heart Island, as well, what a sad story! I'm so glad the weather is beautiful for your journies today, while you ride along the St Lawrence and Lake Ontario!! I've got big smiles on!! :-)Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.com
