After a good night's sleep in the new tent, the Sierra Designs Lightning 2 UL, we started the day with a polar bear swim in Lake George then had some breakfast and coffee at a diner and headed south for 'The City'.
It started to rain from about 100 miles from NYC, so we stopped, got some gas and geared up for a wet ride. The Saturday traffic started from the George Washington Bridge all the way down the Harlem River Drive /FDR Drive and over the Brooklyn Bridge. Finally, we get to the 'good deal' I found on Expedia and quickly realize there was no way we were staying there. Between the line up of homeless in front of the building to the dirty looks we got on the street and in the Wendy's where we stopped, we decided we needed a better solution for the next 2 nights. So we spent a few hours driving around, calling and finally getting a room right near Wall street. It was pouring rain all evening and we were pretty soggy by the time we checked in.
