09_DAY NINE FRII - Lake Placid, NY

Wow what a day in sports viewing history.  Cooperstown in the morning and Lake Placid in the evening!

I start the day today in the beautiful upstate New York countryside, a place where I would spend many an hour of the next week.  Aside from the horrible roads one of my favorite places in the Adirondack mountains.

I thought I might fool you guys into believing that I actually went inside the Baseball Hall of Fame, but truth be told I could care less.  I skipped it for more riding time and sleep.  I spent most of my time looking for a new camera and driving around this beautiful city.  You see as I was driving yesterday in the rain my camera slipped out of my pocket.  RRRRRRRRR!

A decision was made, I will go to Saratoga Springs and buy another video camera, cause I don't want to miss capturing a moose on video charging me.  You Tube you know, ha.  This ride takes me through the countryside with intermittent thunderstorms until I reach the Best Buy.  After buying the camera I decided to grab a bite at Five Guys Burgers before heading to Lake Placid.  It will be a long wet ride and I don't know when or if I'll get dinner.

One would have thought that while I was sitting at Five Guys I would have taken some test video, but no I don't need directions.  All the way up I'm taping "skinny" video cause I'm not holding the camera correctly!  Serves me right.  I pull into Lake Placid, NY late that night and eat at the gas station while finding a hotel.  There's a youth wrestling association in town and it's booked except for the Econolodge!  Yippee!  Sleep!  Dry!  Warm!

Wandering....
