An alley that leads somewhere:



Right on the water:






Unfortunately, Route 20 is a Truck Route so there is a lot of this:



And it goes right through the main drag… but there’s also a lot of this:



… and this:



… and this:



If you’re a bird, Skaneateles is the place to be:





Unless you’re a duck… then it sucks to be you:



More stone work and a church with a view:









This can be found at the head of the pier:





Sometimes, it’s the little details that make all the difference. It’s unfortunate, but there are times when the noise from the rest of the world drowns out the important things. It’s only upon closer inspection that we really see important details.





This guy had the right idea:



A little bit of history:



By this point in the trip, I was really looking forward to a burger at Johnny Angel’s. After that, I had planned a special stop in honor of Veteran’s Day.

Stay tuned.

With my stomach grumbling, I moved the bike from its waterfront parking space to a space in front of Johnny Angel’s Heavenly Burgers (which is right next to Doug’s Fish Fry).





A very welcome sight indeed:



After placing my order, I played with the camera for a bit:







(shot through the window)



I love a place with a sense of humor:



This particular camera was one that I purchased specifically for riding. I got it on ebay for 50 bucks since I didn’t want something I’d worry too much about breaking or losing along the way. This was my maiden voyage with it and I was fairly happy with its performance thus far.

It’s nothing special – a Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 (I was going to claim ignorance and not post a picture, however, I have the Smugmug iPhone app and this seemed like a good opportunity to test it out)... the tape over the shutter release is temporary until I get a replacement button from Sony:



I ordered the Bison burger. Naturally, I added bacon (mmmm):



If you’ve never had bison before, you have to try it. It’s awesome!

See?



Playing around:



I then took a walk back toward the water. There was a place where I wanted to grab some photos in honor of Veteran’s Day.

Just past this place:



… is this place:





Even with trucks roaring past on Route 20, it always seems to become silent when I pass by this plaque which sits under this:



This is because of the memorials set up just beyond. I’d try to put it in to words, but I’ll let the pictures do the talking:

A memorial to those who served in the Spanish-American War:



WWI “The World War”





WWII:



(I apologize but the panned out shot apparently didn’t make it)

Korea:



Vietnam:





Also in the park:







To all those who have served or are currently serving:

Thank You.



More to come….

Awesome pics man, looks like a sweet ride.

Bison is good, but beef is better. Bison is too dry.
