Found the only place where you can drive under the Erie Canal on a nice 280 mile trip around western and central NY on Saturday. Had lunch in Sodus Point and hit Canandaigua on the way home.

A quick video of the tunnel:

Ten mile installation lap loop around Manhasset Bay, Hempstead Harbor, Sands Point.

A rare sight in these parts...two of the same species meeting. Well sort of. Took a short drive in the beautiful sun From St.Albert to Edmonton today. Met up with fellow Datsun/Nissan enthusiasts, Rob, to shoot the sh@# on all things Datsun roadster. Not too many in these parts. Perhaps 1/2 dozen. And very very rare to have two in the same place. South of here, in Calgary Alberta, there are a number of these cars. Perhaps we are the most northern Datsun roadsters in North America haha haha, Both cars are 2000 solex
