With a date to go drinking at noon, I wasn't about to go rushing out of
town. I filled part of the morning by doing laundry or getting my dog
groomed but I'll not say which.

Car ports between the room can be seen in some of the earliest pictures of
the Miami. Stairs on the front led to sun decks over the carports. Valerie
explained how the car ports were converted to additional room with windows
on the front side but the doors on the back. With either clean cloths or a
clean dog, I returned to the motel to check some of that out. Note the
room #29 which I think means the twenty-eight room motel has no room #13
but I did not get to verify that. The wide stairs on the back lead to the
owners quarters and the narrower stairs, which are reminiscent of the long
gone sun deck stairs, lead to the pair of small rooms that bracket the
owners quarters. There are numerous outside seating areas around the motel
including a table and chairs in front of each unit. I used the one outside
my front door to edit photos until the sun got too bright.

As noon approached, I headed next door to
Naked Dove
Brewing. Noon was when the brewery opened and when I would be meeting
road scholar and fan, Carol Ruth. This was our first time actually meeting
but we have been communication online since 2004. That's when I made a
unscheduled business trip to Pennsylvania and put out a call for
suggestions on how to spend the personal time I would tack onto the end of
company time. Carol was one of a trio suggesting US-6 in northern
Pennsylvania and followed it up with a picture of a G.A.R Highway (a US-6
designation) sign.
We fell right into easy flow chatter mode and talked about water falls, old roads, organizations, preservation, turnpikes, trains, roller coasters, signs, cars, and cats. OK, actually Carol talked about cats and I nodded, but I did contribute a little something to those other topics. We probably could have continued like that for the rest of the day but decided to head out once we'd emptied all those jugs. |

In Akron, NY, someone has been quite creative in dealing with scrap parts.

Today I learned that Buffalo Wing were invented on the Yellowstone Trail.
The first detour in Buffalo was only a couple of blocks and was well
marked. The second involved a closed bridge and either it wasn't marked
very well or I wasn't very observant. I sought out my own detour and ended
up crossing the Buffalo River on Park Avenue.

Hollywood's got nothing on Farnham, NY.

I did not get a usable picture of the Brocton Arch when I came through
here a few days ago so I put in a little more effort this time. It's been
there since 1913 and so far has been taken down every hundred years for
refurbishing.
