It was 37 degrees and dark on Day 1 of the 2018 Prefrontal Tour, with reports of snowflakes falling somewhere in the Adirondacks. We put off the launch until after dawn, so as not to be driving at deer-thirty in the morning, and in the hope that it would warm up a bit... Gassing up at Fuller's Store in Edinburgh, we headed south under broken clouds set ablaze by an Autumn sunrise, through Amsterdam and the farm fields of Schoharie county, hooking up with the concrete slab of I-88 to make some time through Oneonta and beyond. We turned south at Horseheads to amble through the Allegheny State Forest and into Pennsylvania, then turned west and made a race into the sunset to reach Youngstown, Ohio. All in all a great day with 525+ miles on the meter.
