Morristown, NY to Sacket's Harbor, NY

Day 7

Rain starting smacking the tent at 5:14AM, making for sub par sleep until we ventured out into the day at 7:30. We ate oatmeal in the Wagon the rain as we planned the tip to Niagara Falls. By the time we left the park it was clear and enjoyable, making for a beautiful drive through upstate New York.

Driving through endless countryside, we passed more Amish buggies than cars before pulling off for lunch at Southwick Beach State Park outside of Sacket's Harbor, New York. Since the weather was nice for a change our quick lunch and swim break became a two night stay. Making camp, we hung out the past week's worth of wet gear and clothing, giving our site a rather shanty appearance the other campers tried to avoid.

A run through the park's trails and local farm roads capped with swimming in Lake Ontario made for a quality afternoon. Dinner was more of a disaster with shit canned chicken spread and wild rice. Liv rightly avoided the chicken as I gobbled the crap down.

The sunset over Lake Ontario was nice, but I hoped for better. Yet, thankfully it wasn't raining for once as we went to bed.
