Our campsite at the Ace of Diamonds Mine. |
Herkimer Diamonds. |
The campsite is pretty rustic, but it is awesome to only pay $20 and get a chance to fully recharge our camper battery. And it is sort of cool to be camping in an old quarry - it's a nice change from the campgrounds we usually visit.
It took a while for the temperature to reach 70, but it has been a great day. I had a front flat 35 miles into today's ride, caused by grit and debris working its way through the gash in my front tire and then through the temporary boot patch that I had put on south of Bar Harbor. That was a nearly brand new tire, so I tried to see how long I could make it last despite the damage. We're happy we got another couple weeks of riding out of it, but we swapped it out for a new tire since it will only be a matter of time before the second boot patch would also fail.
