We got a bust at our next station, DeKalb Junction, so we continued on to RIchville where they were waiting for us. The guy that was there, remembered me from 22 years ago when I was last through there, which was kind of cool!

Our next stop was at Gouverneur, where we had been told that someone was going to try to meet us. We got there and no one was there. We hung around for a few minutes and then a couple of firefighters came in for another reason, not to meet us. They were skeptical of what we wanted to do, until I pulled out the photo album again. Then every rig came out for pics! Again, carrying the photo album around really helps open doors!
Gouverneur run from a single station. We had major issues with the clouds here. Heavy overcast with the occasional spot of sun.

Got shut out at the next 2 stations, although we never did hear back from either during the planning for this trip. These were really off the beaten trail, Edwards Fire Dept and Fine Fire Dept. We did manage to find this brush truck from Edwards outside at a repair facility, no other info.
