Another great day.....the sun was out all day
saw some of the flood they had in upper NY
Lake Placid is a real nice town
I took the free Ferry where they are building the new bridge in Chimney Point NY

The waitress had told me the night before that wile i'm here I have to go to the top of Cadillac Mountain
I did and got some great pics
after that I really needed a coffee so i stopped for breakfast
after that the rain started and never stopped
Once i got to Gorham NH i was dry but the dampness had gotten into my knees and elbows so i called it a day
