MIght be a pretty sporty trip in Late Oct going the length of Huron North and the length of Michigan South. OR, traversing both Erie and Ontario to make it to Montreal to pick up the Champlain system. You mentioned the 11th. that's Nov, correct?
btw, I work about 100 yards from Erie canal. Can offer some help if necessary.
