Blue Mountain Lake New York to Ticonderoga New York. 74 miles, 3468 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
I unzipped my tent this morning to a spectacular view of Blue Mountain in the misty morning sunrise. I took the short walk to the lake and took in the beauty of the mist rising off the lake ( photo). When I returned to the campsite I could smell Alexandria’s bacon cooking from the kitchen in the Blue Mountains Inn. She served us bacon, eggs, muffins, and fresh watermelon. We all agreed that she gets the inn keeper of the Year Award. Alex decided to stay behind and spend part of the day hiking up Blue Mountain summit. Paul and I hit the road and started climbing and climbing. We pass through the towns of Long Lake, Newcomb, Blue Ridge, North Hudson, Paradox and then the final fast downhill run into Ticonderoga. Willie started acting up just as we enter town at the end of the day. Looks like another rear axle problem. that will have to wait until tomorrow. Photos of the big downhill just before Ticonderoga with the Vermont mountains in the background, the Adirondack range, and Blue Mountain Lake in the morning mist. I am exhausted from today’s ride through the beautiful mountains of New York. Tomorrow will be nine weeks on the road for me. If all goes well I should finish in the next week or so. Final destination has been changed to Portland, Maine
Take care, Freebird
