Southwick Beach State Park, NY to 4 Mile Creek State Campsite, NY


Day 9

Today we drove about 3 hours along the Seaway Trail after an early morning run. Blake had called while on the road telling me to apply to the Portland (Oregon) Fire Department which was taking applications for the next two weeks. It was a nice gesture, but a few months too early.

Lunch was at Fort Ontario in Oswego, consisting of too much pasta with too much cheese. Oswego was a nice city with a pretty little downtown area. Further down the Seaway Trail we stopped at a Bank of America in Walcot, NY. The town was very beautiful with nice people, except Bank of America has begun to show how poor they are as a bank. My new bank card had been canceled for being used in Canada, the ATM was slightly malfunctioning, the tellers had reissued me two wrong cards, and this all somehow took 2 hours to accomplish. Oh well.

Our drive made it to Youngstown, NY (an awesome little down), where we got very lost trying to find 4 Mile Creek State Campsite. The campground was massive with a few hundred sites. We took one near the creek, which made for all night frog mating.
