So there is a theme to some of these blogs of us getting lost
and then helped by others to find our way.
(This is not a very good endorsement for Google Maps bicycle.) We were just at the edge of Syracuse and not
looking forward to going through the city much.
We have been lost in Worchester, Pittsfield, and Albany, ending up in
bad neighborhoods and having to hammer (on the fifty plus pound touring bikes)
to get out. I was not looking forward to
doing this once again, but not sure how to avoid it.
So here we were lost and heading into the city when we pulled
into Fire Station 10. The team was
spirited and gave us great directions with landmarks and main routes to
follow. (Google has a way of leading one
astray and onto small roads without signs – which can be okay in rural places
but not great in the inner city.
We had a fun chat with the fire fighters (as you can see
there was a woman in the bunch). One fellow had just gotten a bike and we gave
him some advice about saddles. They were
all interested in our mission to get to LA.
Once again the directions angel was looking out for us!
DW: These guys are great! The directions were
accurate to a tee. Our rolling into their driveway broke up their day and made
ours. Thank you Station Ten staff for your help!
