Sodus Bay, Fall 2008

Pictures from our Fall trip back to Rochester.....

Around the carousel at Sodus Point

Pumpkins and gourds and more gourds at a farmers market

Sodus Point was for teenagers like me in the 1960s our little beach town, perhaps even our little slice of California - or as close as we could come. Bands would play on the little strip at the Point, and it was a place we aspired to get to somehow, underage as we were, though the drinking age in New York then was 18. Somehow I got there in 1967 at age 16 and got in to a bar where The Outsiders (Time Won't Let me - reached #6 on the charts in 1966) performed chunks of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band live in our little corner of the Summer of Love. I thought it was great, but what did I know? I can't remember if I was served alcohol or not. Probably.

Snow is forecast in upstate New York today (surprise) - there is an excellent webcam from the old Sodus Point Lighthouse and Museum looking towards the modern lighthouse. Looks chilly.

Palm Springs is expecting a high of 76 today, with sunny skies.
