On a warm mid-July day, 34 people started the hike from the Burlingame road parking area on the Cazenovia Preservation Foundation to the Historic Lorenzo Home where the Lorenzo Driving Competition was in progress.

Approximately 100 horses and carriages competed in a variety of classes in a display of pleasure driving. The participants were in period dress.

Some tramps brought their lunch and others purchased it on site. Most of us made our way over to the ice cream vendor to sample the many unusual flavors of ice cream. Our planned stay was for 90 minutes. During that time we had the choice of taking a guided tour of the Lorenzo home, walking the gardens, buying horse-themed novelties at the craft fair, or enjoying the competition.

Surprisingly, everyone returned to our agreed-up meeting place on time, and we completed our hike back to the trail-head.
