I didn't know Massachusetts was capable of this

After taking out all of the stuff Ryan showed up at my house with in his car, we put our old Tetris skills to use and managed to fit it all back into Ryan's 1998 Camry. It was nothing short of a miracle. We decided to avoid The Pike and take rt.2 all the way out west through the Mohwak Trail and man was it awesome to leave the state through there.

Never having been that far northwest in Ma., I didn't realize that the berkshires were a formidable mountain range to cross. The scenery we saw leaving the state was what I have grown accustomed to seeing up north in NH, VT, and ME.

After a quick drive down Spruce Drive, we were on our way to The Empire State.

Finally, after about 7 hours of Ryan's "driving", we pulled into Sawmill Rd. just outside of Rochester to meet up with Beth's dad and their 2 dogs, Jazz and Lilly, both of whom are awesome labs. Unfortunately, Lilly and I are equally photogenic.

After an evening of wine drinking and a solid dinner around a small camp fire in 40 degree weather, it's time to pack it in so we can be refreshed to leave at 8am for NIAGRA!
