Got an early start this morning, was on my bike by 5:30 a.m. I found a great park to camp at last night. It was at Nick's Lake State Park area. Was able to go out for a swim last night before I cooked dinner. The roads out of town where very nice with no traffic and lots of wildlife. I came across my first real climbs of the Adirondacks. Although they were not long they were very steep. These steep uphills had very fun descents on the back side, which made the climbs worth it. As the afternoon wore on so did the heat and the humidity. I encountered the worst humidity I have had on this whole trip today. The temp was also 96 degrees. So the hill climbs were pretty sweaty to say the least. At my lunch stop a very strong, strong storm came on very quickly. I found shelter in the town library. It lasted for about 5 minutes, the wind blew hard and then the wind stopped. Then it really became hot and humid. So I waited it out at a coffee shop until 5:00 then took off to get a few more miles in. 20 miles later I realized I could go no further. The ferry I needed to cross the river into Vermont was closed and wouldn't open until 8 the following morning. Tonight was a hotel night, too hot and humid.
