Day #24: Buffalo, NY

32 Miles from Lockport, NY to Buffalo, NY

The Erie Canal ends at the Niagra River--10 miles above the eponymous Falls. On entering the river a cruiser has two choices: turn right and run with the current or; turn left and beat against the current. Here's the catch, down the easier path lies certain doom. This seems analogous to so many of life's decisions where often the better choice follows the more difficult path. One thing is for certain, no one ever fell over a waterfall while going upstream. DBH
