Heading Up Canaan Mountain
A surprisingly nice peddle up from the North Fork Red Run on Canaan Loop, heading up Canaan Mountain to Table Rock.

Big Run Falls from the Limerock Trail
While I don't recommend carrying a mountain bike up the Limerock Trail as there isn't a lot of good places to ride up that way, and it's a long 4½ miles hauling over a few waterfalls and cliff edges, it can be done. Better just done walking, and enjoying the scenery.

Oran, Manlius, East Syracuse Topos Circa 1943
I was curious about the old New York Central Rail Grade that they at one point proposed extending Interstate 690 East to Oran along NY 92, and was able to find it on these old topographic maps from 1943. Certainly would have eased congestion a lot in Fayetteville, but probably not popular in Fayetteville or Manlius -- and probably would have encouraged a lot more sprawl around Cazenovia.
