Your hard part will be getting off the island.
As said, if you pull the reefer down with electric and close it up for the time it takes you to get to and cross bridges (at least), it will be good. If you are worried then, stop on your way up the Hudson and fire the gas. It is only 200 miles from the Tappen Zee to Lake George and another 50 to Ti (iirc) and scenic all the way.
Also as said Lake George is a tourist town. You can buy anything you might need and maybe some things you don't. Bring anything you expect to need, because while you can buy it, you may find that they are very proud of the fact that they brought it north. You might just plan to stop at the (NOP) Wally's just off Northway exit 19. If you have time then, I used to like taking 9 the rest of the way north and leave the Northway to those that are in a hurry.
But before you leave the area, go up to Ticonderoga and get the tour of the fort and drive up Mount Defiance. Inlaws used to live in Paradox and I went to school in NYC. Love the area, but I could never live in New York state again.
