Oct 1, 2013, from Campbell IL to Oswego, NY, with photos of Antoine, the 2nd grandchild

How sweet it is!

Early in the morning, Andrew drives us in his small pick up back to Campbell airfield

while the geese are already on their way south for wintering

 In Bowling Green, Ohio (Wood field), we get the VIP refueling treatment

 Eastbound, we follow lake Erie towards Cleveland, OH

and come across a small community similar to Port Grimaud on the French Cote d'Azur. Housing with boat docks on the front door.

More new homes for Andrew to choose from should he want to move from Chicago to NY



Cleveland, Ohio, on lake Erie

 and its airport between downtown and the lake

 The first color changes start to be seen, wonderful.

This is where your waste ends up on a land fill

 These are the famous grape fields in upstate New York...

Along lake Erie we move east at 125-130 knts, with a nice tail wind

the famous cliffs

 Buffalo NY, just before reaching the Niagara Falls

Air traffic control was very cooperative, we could go to 3.500 ft AMSL and overfly the falls for as long as we wanted. We were the only private flight at that moment, the tourist helicopters were touring at 3.000 ft below us

 From Niagara Falls, we proceed east towards Oswego, NY, where we will meet my cousin Kim and her husband Mitch

a nice grass strip on the way

Oswego sits at the south shore of lake Ontario

Kim Seager and her husband Mitch have rebuilt recently their home, and added a "Sports Bar", their Seager's social club

 this is where we have pre dinner drinks, on the porch, while Mitch prepares the steaks

From right to left, Mitch and Kim Seager, Harold (Spank) and Annette Reals, the pilot and Uncle Bruce Godfrey

Kim and Mitch proudly display their Schwanden / Glarus keg they bought on the last family reunion
