Weekend fun
It's not often I get a whim to travel. Especially at 9:30 at night. Well folks, it happened this weekend. :)
Saturday night, I wanted to get out of the house. So...I convinced O to take a trip with me. We put the pup in the back seat and started by heading East on State Rd and followed it to the end. (Hey...I've always been curious!) Sadly, it ends at the Wayne County line, so we didn't get to go that far. 3 miles, maybe. We turned north toward 104.
Just before we got to 104, I got a bright (hee hee!) idea. We turned East toward Oswego and drove. And drove. And drove. Past Ontario. Past Williamson. Past the only Valero gas station I know of in NY. And then turned toward Sodus Point.
Yep. We made a late night, almost full moon trip to the Sodus Point lighthouse. I've only been there once, and it was daylight, so I was concerned about getting lost. After all...full moon. Strange things happen, right? I missed the final turn for the lighthouse...very tiny sign...but a three point turn on a country-road-with-ditches-on-either-side later (not for the faint of heart!), we went back and made the turn.
I've never had the chance to see a real lighthouse in person at night, so...yeah. Cool for me. We sat in the car and listened to the surf for a few minutes, then headed on our way.
I wasn't ready to hop back on the highway, so I decided to take the Seaway Trail back home. This added another fun element, as things took a spooky turn.
First, we passed by a misty graveyard. Plus, again, full moon. Then, uh-oh....bridge out ahead! We had to take a detour. I noticed a dead end road (which we didn't turn onto!), and then noticed a car following us and getting closer. Of course, O pipes up and says "We're not picking up any hitch hikers!" I said I'd only stop if he were carrying a chainsaw and Bud Light.
So, with all of the above, we made the comment that we were in a horror movie. Fun, fun! For me. Not for O, who was starting to feel a little carsick thanks to the undulating road beneath us. I found a starlight mint from my last service stop at Saturn and gave it to her. It helped.
We continued along the Seaway trail enjoying the time together while Sophie napped in the back seat. We finally made it to Webster and took Salt Rd. back to State, and then back home.
And we didn't see any hitch hikers.
