Coast2Coast Day 75:  Tug Hill Resort/Redfield to Booneville/Lyons Falls, New York;  Lunch at Milk Plant Tavern and dinner with Michelle and Steve’s Riverhouse!

‘Short’ ride today in order to divert to Lyons Falls to visit with Steve and Michelle at their home along the Black River.  Stopped for lunch with Cathy at Milk Plant in West Leyden.  I enjoyed the meat loaf dinner with mashed potatoes!

Rode through Booneville during the Woodsmen’s Field Days.  Lots of vehicles, and for me, thankfully enough ‘shoulder’ to pass to get to Erwin Park to meet Cathy for our quick drive to Michelle and Steve’s Riverhouse.  Their acreage along the River is picturesque, and their home is beautiful and cozy.  I was able to rinse my bike of the dust accumulated from the Erie Canal Trail and otherwise.

We were treated to fantastic hospitality by Michelle and Steve, including a passing thunderstorm!  The electricity was cut off, and despite the interruption, their neighbors and friends (Mike and Kim, and Jim and Beth) brought over some Key Lime pie for a tasty dessert!  We shared stories and life challenges and observations.  Was a lively and fun evening in the candlelight!

Before midnight the power was restored, and Steve served Cathy and I a wonderful breakfast, we were able to hug around before heading back to Booneville to continue our journey.

[Hoping that Milo (their cat) makes his way home!]
