Some of us slept in a little at the wonderful Sherwood Inn and consequently missed a thunderstorm which passed through in the early morning. Soon afterwards, the sun broke through and it was another sunny day awaiting our group.
We had the usual great breakfast at the inn including cereals, muffins, scones, croissants, scrambled eggs, fruits and more. They even serve fresh squeezed orange juice. Shortly after 9:00 AM the ladies walked uptown to checkout the "sidewalk sale" that the merchants were having and the men tended to the cars.
By 11:00 AM most of the shopping was over and we went to a scenic cruise of Lake Skaneateles on the Judge Ben Wiles which has been plying the waters of the lake since the mid-1980s. We learned the boat has a 250 hp Detroit Diesel engine and can hold 100 passengers and crew. The "two hour cruise" was great with view of all of the "camps" along the lakeshore. Some of those camps had boathouses that looked like they had 5 bedrooms and three full baths!
We disembarked at 1:00 PM and went back to the inn to have a scrumptious lunch in the dining room. That lunch, being so filling, would hold us for the rest of the day it turned out.
We got the cars all packed up and hit the road about 2:15 PM bound for a Holiday Inn Express in Schoharie, New York. We were now really into the hills of central New York state and each upgrade and downgrade was a good test for the ol' Model As but they were equal to the task. We have passed more ice cream stands and Subway sandwich shops on this trip than you can imagine. We've bought lunch at Subway more than a few times but we haven't stopped for ice cream even once. We'll have to remedy that soon! Arrived at our hotel about 6:30 PM, "watered the horses" and hit the sack.
