Day 50 Raquette Lake to Ticondergoa - through Severance and Paradox!? Raquette Lake, New York to Ticonderoga, New York.


Day 50.  A cooler day indeed, but no rain.  We stayed up and down in the hills until the final drop, and down we went.  A very long descent indeed.  The distance was 87.2 miles and we climbed 4,363 feet overall.  The temps were cooler but essentially no wind.  Very nice.
The first exciting thing we saw was how the beavers have gone up-scale around here.  They have satellite TV!

Again, we were enjoying beautiful fall colors.














We saw some other great colors too.  The owners were zipping around in this TR6 on a beautiful fall day and I would have traded my bike for this one!  They said no - can't figure out why.
Along the way we did hit some road construction.  Waiting in line we had a chat with the traffic controller about the area - great way to learn the details.  Riding in the soft gravel was exciting.


As for the interesting things, the painted rock was a stand-out.
Finally, there was the old satellite dish that had gone to the roots - so to speak.
Yes, Halloween is in full swing around here.
Tomorrow we will be heading off the Adventure Cycle route.  With the Hurricane coming we want to finish before the storm hits, so we are taking more of a "B-Line" to the Atlantic. Any port in a storm!!
