We woke up to another nice day. It’s sunny. The temperature started in the low 50s and reached the high 60s by late afternoon. We got on the road around 11am.

Ausable Chasm was near the campground and on the way to I-87. The campground manager told us the water level in the chasm rose 60 ft. when the rain from hurricane Irene flooded the area.

The 253 mile drive to Verona was delightful. The route: US-9 south to Keeseville, NY-9N south to I-87, I-87 south to Albany, and I-90 (NY Thruway) to Verona. Traffic was very light until we approached Albany.
I-87 passes through Adirondack Park. We got to enjoy the 90 mile section from Keeseville to just north of Glens Falls. The sun made the changing leaves glow and the mountain views were awesome.
The day ended with a bit of déjà vu. We’re camped at The Villages at Turning Stone. This is a great campground and it just happened to fit into our return itinerary. We camped here two weeks ago when hurricane Irene blew through. In fact, we’re in the site (#320) we had to move from during the rain on September 4th. It’s MUCH nicer today!
