Thanks and stay safe.

That's me.if your willing to drive to Lodi you might want to go to Ithaca Cayuga is doing a lot better then Seneca or i think your bot can get under the bridge at t falls sorry Seneca guys but its true for now lol

Pleasure to meet you. Yes I was considering going to Cayuga but had a curfew from the wife and didn't want to get stuck in ithaca traffic. More time on water. Also i don't know Cayuga as well. My wife is actually pretty understanding. I just needed to be home by certain time. Actually talked her into getting a fish license on Saturday. Now just need to catch fish to get her interested.

As far as long report. Copy and paste is wonderful thing.

The power plant and t falls is always a good spot to start
