Rain, rain, and more rain...
Stuck in Potsdam, NY. It started raining within 30 minutes of me pulling in last night, and it rained off and on all night. Nearly an inch of rain is forecast for here and any direction where I would be heading. I knew I would have to take one down day due to the rain, but I was hoping it would be tomorrow when I would be closer, or even at, Corner #2 in Madawaska, ME. So, I will stay put today, and probably take a cab anywhere I would want/need to go. I have great wi-fi here, so I’ll probably just stay in and work on photos and updating my blog.

The weather did break, momentarily, about 10AM so I quickly headed out for breakfast.
I had no more pulled in the parking lot of the restaurant, on the bike, when the skies opened and poured for 30 minutes or more. What a mess. About the time I was ready to leave, the rain quit. So I took a drive around the town, even out in the country for a few miles. I stopped at a local computer shop and purchased some DVD's to transfer photos to. I've made over 1500 pictures and want them on some medium other than my laptop. I'll have quite a selection to go through when I get home.

I've viewed and reviewed my route tomorrow. Looks like Lake Placid and John Brown's NY farm home site are on the list, as well as Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream place. I don't think I'll hit Madawaska until late Saturday or maybe even Sunday. It should be cold the next night or two.
My lodging will probably be inside as there are NOT any KOA's where I'm headed, except maybe tomorrow night.
