August 5th

Boonville New York to Blue Mountain Lake New York 65 miles. 3394 miles from the Pacific Ocean. A beautiful day to be on the bike. We pass through the pretty little hamlets of Old Forge, Inlet and Raquette Lake on our ride through the Adirondack Mountains.
This is God’s country and it is beautiful. Cold clear mountain streams and lakes are around every corner. We follow the Moose River for several miles and watch the whitewater rafters shoot the rapids. Canoes and kayaks are on top of the almost every car that passes. The day is cool and clear with low humidity. This is biker bliss. The climbs are long and hard but Willie seems to know when to shift into hill climbing gear, just like we’ve done hundreds of times before.
I am grateful for the near perfect weather that we’ve had in the last week. We are camping in the backyard of the Blue Mountain Inn bed and breakfast. Alexandria the innkeeper is taking great care of us (photo). fresh strawberry rhubarb pie and ice cold glasses of milk greeted us upon our arrival. Then Alex and I went for a swim in the cold mountain lake which is directly across from Inn. Life is good.
Take care, freebird.

  1. Sounds like a quintessential retirement area … bring back lots of pictures and some retirement brochures for the area … keep scoping these places out !!
