Low clearances and steep grades make for complicated route finding as we plan to move from Treman near Ithaca to Ricketts Glen; but, Kent figured it out. We break camp in the rain and set off under grey, drippy skies. We wind through farm land and near enough to oil patch to share the road with their heavy vehicles. It is uneventful for us but there are many signs of heavy road damage from fast streams all along US 220, probably from August rains. All is well at Ricketts Glen and we settle into camp. Skies threaten and we have more afternoon and evening rain. We manage to get out for a bit to scout trailhead locations (and to have a dip of Hershey’s teaberry ice cream) but mostly keep high and dry at home. Tomorrow is to be beautiful so we will head out to check these trails. The recent rain should make the water falls spectacular…the trails icky muddy too! We shall see.

Oh, we have ZERO cell coverage here so posts will be clumpy as we make them whenever we are out and about.
