Day 54 Redfield NY to Newcomb NY

The rain stopped. We dried out a bit. And now it's off on our longest day. We entered Adirondack Park and began to see it's beauty.

Adirondack Park is a state park and is one of the largest in the United States. As we entered Old Forge, we also began to see that it is a very touristy place.


It proved to be my most difficult day. 120 miles is the longest. But the climbing was also the longest, 7297 ft: even longer than our second day in the Cascades in Washington. It was a 5:35 p.m. before I dragged into Newcomb to a warm welcome from Carol, the pastor of Newcomb United Methodist, and Mike, her main pray-er.
