Coast2Coast Day 76:  Lyons Falls/Booneville to Lake Durant, New York; traveled along the Moose River, through Old Forge, along the ‘numbered’ lakes, to the State Park on Lake Durant!

The roads were good today, though the traffic along Route 28 was heavier than anticipated.  While on the Moose River Bridge, the whine of the passing vehicles almost sounded like the ping-ping-ping of shots from a video game.  The terrain was very much a continuation of the up-and-down as I passed each of the many lakes along the way.  Stopped at the Citgo near Sixth Lake, that boasts of a ‘wide variety of IPA’s on Aisles 2 and 3.’  

Came across a few single bicyclists heading in the opposite direction, and one group of three ‘serious’ cyclists in a pace line ‘booking it!’

Cathy took time to hike the Blue Mountain Trail, and we arrived closely at the campsite in Lake Durant State Park.  We had time to secure things before some passing rain showers, and were later able to take a walk about the lush campgrounds.  Many campers brought bikes and especially canoes and/or kayaks for which to enjoy the Lake.

The evening/night included a significant rain showers, and the pitter-pat on the vans rooftop was somewhat soothing!  We read our books and retired for the evening, but not before I prepped my rain gear for the next day!
