Day 6: New York





We got up at 4:30AM to leave as soon as the sun came up. Kester and Mary made eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns. We were on the road around 5:15AM and made good time. Kev's bike is still having issues, and generally won't idle. He needs to keep the RPMs above 2000 when we're in traffic or it will die, and possible not start again unless it cools down. Violation. Sure enough, we get stuck in a bunch of traffic after crossing the bridge in Poughkeepsie, NY. Willow died and wouldn't start again for about an hour and a half. We make it just south of Wurtsboro, NY and camp for the night. Not many mosquitos, but lots of tiny black flies. They're not as smart, so they don't get into the hammock as easily. The sleep was decent, and Kev's sleep was just okay.
