Ausable Chasm

Friday August 7, 2009

One of Mary-Jeanine’s goals every summer is to find a way to get out of the Florida heat and humidity. If it were up to her, summer would be declared persona-non-grata in Florida and the months of May-September would simply cease to exist. Since we don’t yet have time travel technology available to us, we make like the birds and head north.

When we leave Florida, she is looking for weather that is mercifully below 95 degrees. When we get to Georgia, the low 90's is no longer sufficient. In the Carolina's, temperature's in the mid 80's becomes so 10 minutes ago. Virginia and Pennsylvania in the upper 70's is unbearably hot.

Now, here we are. Northern New York state. We are reaching the upper limit of the continental US. Upper Maine doesn't count. You can never cool off there in the summer because you are constantly running around fleeing black flies. Any way, here we are. The weather is peaking in the low 70's. Nirvana right?

Too cold.

Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here.

OK, we didn't actually tube THIS section, but it would have been cool if we coulda
