Montauk Attempt

On 6/12/04 Jill and I made an attempt to see Montauk State Park and the Current river, but it didn't work out so well. Still, a Plan B in 370 miles.

On our way south to the park we passed through the very center of the US, population-wise that is. Not many people right here though - just an even number all around.

While nice in STL, clouds got thicker the further south we went.

Didn't stop farm people from doing farm things. Looks like this guy is loading a spool of straw on to that truck.

Continuing south we passed through Licking. I've said it before, but I don't make this stuff up people.

Just before we reached the park it started to rain in earnest. We sat in the car for a while hoping it would stop. Rain out the moon roof.

Rain out my window.

Rain out the windshield. Yes, its coming down pretty well.

After waiting longer in a different spot in the park, we decided to just move on. Did see some blue water though - was coming close to the road. Note all of the raindrop splashes in it.

We headed back north. We passed through Cuba. Here it wasn't raining.

44 is just north of Cuba. Passed Bourbon again - lots of letter roads here.

There's some tourist stuff in Stanton. Didn't go in here.

44 was 66, so this makes sense.

Did go in here - was pretty neat. It really is full of toys.
