On an overcast, rainy day, ten people took a chance that they would not get wet and it paid off. No rain on the three-hour outing. We hiked to Fairchild Hill for a view of the lake and were rewarded with a picturesque scene of six sail-boats taking advantage of the blustery day. From the overlook we traveled down the hill to the Lorenzo Museum and walked around the grounds and garden. It was amazing how many flowering bushes were still in bloom on the first of October. We came upon, what looked like a fountain. But on reading the sign next to it, we learned that it was actually one of the ornate watering troughs that had once lined the streets of Cazenovia so passing horses could get a drink of water. It was an interesting piece of history. After the hike, six of us stopped as the Lincklean Tavern for drinks and sandwiches.
