Finger Lakes to the Adirondack Mountains

Today we crossed another portion of New York state in a Northeast direction leaving the Finger Lakes wine area and are now in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.  We have taken rural routes to avoid the turnpike and it was a pleasant, beautiful, experience through small towns and past many large farms.  This drive today was the hardest of all our trips so far for hill climbing.  As of this evening we have pulled a trailer through the lower 48 states for a total of 104,444 miles and our truck worked the hardest in these New York mountains today then any where else.  These local roads have climbing and descending grades much steeper than the interstate standards and with the lower speed limits through the small towns there isn't any chance of gaining momentum, I still love our truck.
