This site was created in February 2015. It was originally NYRouteThree.com, then I finally got NYRoute3.com. I cloned it off my original NY Route 30 site, which had most of the same towns, so yeah, it has that cloned look to it. But give me some time and this baby will be unique and great and be the ultimate guide Route 3 all the way through the Adirondacks from Lake Champlain to Lake Ontario

Take care to prevent overheating yourselves or your vehicles in these high temperature days. And watch out for high winds, torrential rains, downed trees and flash flooding!
Hot Tips Computer - Web:  Leverage all the social media sites you can to support your main website. A Facebook business page is the most important, followed by Instagram then Twitter. Don't forget to make sure your Google and Yelp listing pages are okay. But keep the focus on your main site and don't get bogged down in endless social media chit chat, which might be fun but it doesn't generate good traffic after a while.
Auto:   Get Your Car's Cooling System Checked Out for using your AC. I don't approve of idling your car to run your AC or using AC in cooler weather. Also, check the tire pressure and presence & condition of your spare tire, lug wrench & jack.
Outdoors:   Summer is here. But bring at least one wool layer and shell parka if hiking above 3000'. Take basic emergency supplies for day hikes.
