Annual Franklin Trek - Cazenovia College

The Franklin Trek made its annual visit to Cazenovia NY this week. Since the classic automobile owners would be bringing their nostalgia to the Cazenovia College quad, Michael invited us to drove down and see the cars.
The group's agenda today included a road trip to the Colgate Inn in Hamilton NY. So there were only a corporal's guard of automobiles present on campus.

Michael took us to lunch in the school cafeteria. We were surprised by the selection. Definitely not the college cuisine that we recall from our college years. In the food line Michael introduced us to Brett.

There was a photo gallery of past treks near the cafeteria.
After lunch we went out on the quad and viewed the Franklins. There Michael introduced us to Jeff and Lisa.
Since Michael had to return to work, we said our Goodbyes. Making our way to the car, we stopped at a yard sale. There Joan spotted a child's wooden rocking horse for $5.
While she paid the homeowner, I went to get our car. On the way, I introduced myself to Stefan, the head groundskeeper. Told him how attractive the campus was. Stefan credited his great staff for the work. He also gave me a formula to prevent the deer from eating our flower garden.

We returned home by way of the East Lake Road driving into Owera Vineyards for a quick look. Passing Gannons on our way through Syracuse was tempting but we fought off the urge.

Another great road trip.
