Drove through the Adirondack Mountains. Beautiful colors, although hard to capture with a camera. Most of the trip was on state highway and there were no rest areas as we know them. They have "parking areas" that are just unpaved pull offs. Many little towns but not one fast food restaurant or grocery store. Appeared to be vacation homes that were not inhabitated now. There were a number of little ice cream shops and mom-and-pop cafes that were "closed for the season. We got on an interstate about 2/3rds of the way there; with still much color alongside. It is impossible to get away from it. Very nice. We did cross the Hudson River at Riparius - which means Riverside.
We landed in Plattsburgh New York along the west shore of Lake Champlain. We do expect to be home some time before year-end... just not sure when.
Hudson River. Much smaller than it is towards the coast.
