In 1985 we took the train from Baltimore to Ithaca, rode a similar route for five days and it just didn't rain - it poured! We had planned to camp and only camped the first night. Thank heavens for all the little resort cabins, We would venture into the rain and then stop about 2 or 3, find a nice cabin and spend the afternoon drying out and having a beer. I loved the scenery, could have managed with a few less hills. Would enjoy going back but having a drier ride. Sounds like you had a great time despite the rain.
