Time for a snack. If you find yourself on US-9 in Valatie, New York, we recommend stopping at Golden Harvest Farms. They have a nice variety of tasty treats. You can't go wrong with the cider donuts and cold apple cider.

Kelly's final visit of the day is the burial place of General William Floyd in Westernville, New York. Floyd was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Also of note is that musician David Crosby is one of his descendants.
After a long day's drive, the night was spent in North Olmsted, Ohio.
