There is a very decent ramp at Liberty State Park. Definitely under used as far as we could see. Also, in that same area, there was a sailboat anchored... very protected, and away from the hustle and bustle... you have to know it's there, though. And nearly in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.
I took a few more shots of Lady Liberty as I brought Wild Blue around to the ramp...
Joan pulled the truck/trailer around and backed down the ramp, I drove Wild Blue up onto the trailer. Easy. No fresh water to rinse the brakes and trailer, so we used our fresh water washdown. It wasn't long before we were ready for the road...
The roads in New Jersey were nice once we got out of Newark. Pennsylvania was beautiful, especially the Poconos. We found out that "Poconos" is an old Indian term meaning: road construction...
We lost a couple hours due to the lane closures, and jammed up traffic.
Coming back into New York, we were treated to rolling hills and farmlands. Honestly, the scenery we saw from the road was prettier, in a pastoral sorta way, than what you see in the eastern Erie Canal.
According to the computer, the trip should have taken less than 6 hours... it ran about 8. The office was closed at Seneca Lake; we launched Wild Blue and picked a vacant slip... we'll go check in in the morning. We'll spend a day or two here getting resupplied and cleaned up and head back into the canals.
