The trip down to Lake Luzerne from Blue Mountain Lake was another great one. Riding through the Adirondacks is just about perfect. It's a summery day, and there was lots of downhill, amd other than one short stretch the pavement was especially good. We reached another cool landmark: we were riding along the Hudson River for quite a while. We just had a very nice dinner in town, and I am sitting outside the library to take advantage of its WiFi. The place we are staying has very little cell reception.
Of course, we are thinking a lot about Sunday. The forecast has been pretty consistent; it looks lime we're in for one wild day, even way back in the northwest.corner of Massachusetts. As we thought of how to reorganize things if Monday turns out to be a tough riding day - could easily be flooding, power outages, trees & branches down - it occurred to me that we could simply ride one less day. I mean, Massachusetts has a coast, doesn't it??? So I mentioned that we could stay three nights in Williamstown, and pick up a car in the Boston area after dipping our wheels in the salt water somewhere out that way.
Well, Bruce is one loyal Williams alum. He has taken to that idea with enthusiasm. No, I am (reasonably) sure he has no particular hopes of playing that dreamed-of golf game on Monday. I doubt the course will be in playable condition. They are talking about 5-10" of rain in ONE day. But we would certainly be able to explore the area some. Maybe help the locals with sandbags or something.
So that idea is gathering strength even as the hurricane probability grows. We'll know more tomorrow when we will be able to make a few phone calls to set up the changes.
Nothing, nothing, nothing will change our arrival in Old Saybrook on Friday where we get to catch up with Lillian and Willie!!! Oh, and Rebecca and Will, too.
