The Roycroft to home

We had a great dinner in a Mexican Restaurant just a couple of blocks away from our Inn. Afterwards we walked around the town and explored what is called the "campus" of the Roycrofters, the craftsmen who worked in the area. Some time reading our books in the lobby of the Inn finished the evening, and we went back to the room to enjoy a peaceful, quiet night's sleep. Finally. Sleeping through the night helped us to wake up earlier than the day before, an advantage considering we had a 40 mile ride and then a four-hour drive ahead of us. We took NY Rte 240 on the advice of the general store owner on Saturday. It was scenic and for the most part quiet, though we lost the shoulder about halfway to Ellicottville. Not as hilly as Sundays's ride, it still had its share of climbing. We reached Ellicottville a little after noon and returned to our car at the Kelly House. We were greeted by the family we had bonded with on Friday night who handed us clean towels and showed us where the showers were for the large group rooms. We quickly showered and headed to Dina's for lunch. Not the same without Patti, Bob and Jeff, but we were pleasantly surprised that the waitress recognized us. After lunch, we got a picture of her with Bob in front of the cookie case, then packed up and left. A good time was had by all.
