Rode to Smithtown... was totally burntout by the time i got back.

The road was closed at West Rogues Path just before the RR crossing, so I went around only to still be 100 feet short of the crossing. I asked the police officer if I could walk to the crossing and he said sure, just step over the wire laying on the ground. He joked that it was dead but next to it was a smoking section of pavement when it was sparking previously. I stepped over it carefully and carried the bike over it... just in case.

Lots of groups out there. On Pulaski 2 groups for 20+ road past from the other direction.

I also learned that there were many convoys of lineman traveling. The only thing worse than a truck with a trailer, is a truck with a 40" trailer with telephone poles on it followed by a half dozen others. It was like having a train go past you on the road. i had to wait till a few cars passed to know they were done.
