DAY 20 FRIDAY

Left Portland suited up for rain and soon hit it. So hard we couldn't see, stopped in an underpass and crawled up under the bridge to stay dry.

We drove out of the storm in less than a hundred miles and shed our rain gear. The rest of the day was spent on twisty two lane roads through some of the most beautiful country, following rivers, forests, quaint little towns, in shirt sleeve weather. Crossed New Hampshire, Vermont and well into New York on these roads.

After a break decided to take State Route 20, looked good on the map, this led into a one lane in each direction trip into the bowels of Albany NY. I felt like the narrator of Wild Kingdom; here we have natives in their natural habitat see them drive on the wrong side of a double yellow line, see them run lights, see them wave with one finger, only the bravest of hunters will approach them on two wheels.

Ended up in someplace called Cobbleskill NY, nice Best Western on hill, restaurant attached, Jan was salivating over a softball field out back with some kids playing ball.

Tomorrow we head toward Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
