Day 17, Thurs Sept 18, from Utica, NY to Lenox, Mass

After leaving the area of Palmyra Wednesday afternoon, we drove east on Rt 5, stopping at this beautiful spot on the north shore of one of the famous Finger Lakes; Seneca Lake, Geneva, NY. However the hotel on the lake shore had no room available and we traveled on east and were unsuccessful in finding anything suitable or otherwise until we reached Utica and took lodging in an old Ramada Inn. (at the point we were glad just for a bed - actually it wasn't all that bad and we got a suitable night's rest. Ironically, we heard from Sister Suzanne Wyatt, one of our CDNM missionaries who we had hoped to see and visit with while traveling through the area. We had given her a bad phone number and so we kept missing each other. It turned out that she lives and works in Geneva, right across from the hotel we were hoping to stay at! But, we had traveled far down the road before we became aware of how close we had been. We feel bad that we missed seeing and visiting with her.
