Tuesday - June 18

We left St. Johnsville at 8:03, cruised 48 miles, went thru 8 locks (no big delays) and arrived at Scotia Landing (near Schenectady) at 1:30.     We had cool cloudy conditions and a little rain (just north of some nasty stuff),

Catrina is only boat docked here at the landing.....we are across the street from Collins Park - wow.....huge pretty spot of many baseball diamonds, basketball and tennis courts, splash pad for the kiddies, fishing pond, and best of all, a very nice paved walking/biking path all around the park!    3 civic organizations have taken an area to sponsor (Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary)   Hats off to the folks in Scotia Village for an awesome sports park!

I walked in the park and Mark rode his bike and was in search of an ATM.    Felt good to have some steps in.

Earlier after we arrived we walked to Jumpin Jacks Drive-In, an ole timey walk-up spot with many picnic tables and lots of food/drink choices.    We enjoyed a late lunch....also building next door has all the ice cream concoctions for Jumpin Jack.

 Very popular place

Pretty flowers in Collins Park




The sun came out late afternoon and it warmed up to 77.    Felt darn good!!!    Tonight we walked/biked around the park again and oh my.............it was packed with several ballgames, volleyball games, tennis matches, etc.    Baseball is going strong here in upstate NY

 Just one of many games happening tonight at Collins Park

Since we're here in Scotia Village, this is as far on the eastern Erie we plan to go....tomorrow we'll head back west.    So many Loopers again today from all over the country.    Tomorrow we'll be going in the same direction.

Such a pretty evening and the kayakers are out and this unique, impressive attraction....

6 water skiers (3 couples)  - great entertainment and skill!

Nighty night from Scotia Landing
