Saling, Saling along Cayuga Lake...

Posted at 12:59 PM on July 25, 2009

Saturday.  Saling along Route 90 at the the Route 90 Garage Sale is a summer institution in central New York, attracting large crowds who browse along miles and miles of sales on the last weekend of July.  We started in Homer and followed the route up through King's Ferry and then along Cayuga Lake for about 50 miles until we came to Route 20 near Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.  It was a great day for it --warm and sunny with a refreshing breeze.  Bill and Brian got some bargain golf equipment.   Bill also found the medium sized crock perfect for his next batch of pickles, and I bought some books and a handpainted china plaque done by one of my friends 30 years ago.  Jacaranda found a beach chair and a stoneware milk jug.  All in all it was a fun day and we each found a "treasure" to take home.


A short detour to Treleven Winery in King's Ferry for some wine tasting was a nice break from the saling.  Our server at the wine tasting was interesting and knowledgeable, giving us great ideas on complementary foods to serve with various wines.  We enjoyed the Reislings and Merlot,  Jacaranda liked the sweet ice wine and some of the other whites.  When we passed through Union Springs, we came upon a German couple who had set up a food stand selling Bratwurst and other German foods accompanied by lively German music.   By that time, we were all starving and decided that it was a perfect time to have lunch.
