Fort Ticonderoga New York

Riding bikes in the Adirondacks has been great for the most part.  We had no idea how much of a resort area this all was going to be and how impossible it was going to be to find hotel/motels on the fly!  Camping has been interesting in this neck of the woods as the weather looks great one moment and next thing you know you are swimming in a lake or lying in a mud pit.  My favorite spot that would be worth returning to and staying at would be Lake George.  Some great little towns around the lake and wonderful looking B & B's.  Marking this down for future reference.  Mostly the riding has been rolling hills with bigger hills or climbs really to keep you on your toes.  I have a feeling Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine will all be much the same but as we leave over the ferry tomorrow into Vermont we soon will know!  Only 4 days left of riding for us until we reach the Atlantic in Saco Maine on Friday.  We will spend one day exploring.

Ray finally found the perfect Margarita.  The Best Western Hotel/restaurant in Ticonderoga made the perfect drink.  It seems every where we go he orders and gives instructions and the weirdest concoctions come back at him. Food was pretty good too and lots more than we could eat.  Seems like we have a collection from the last few days.  Lunch on our rest day should be one less decision we will have to make.

The Erie Canal.  Mike, Ray and I camped out right here on the canal for the night.  The welcome center gave us the okay and the keys to the bathrooms and showers.  No charge!  Beautiful spot and lovely town.

We always seem to find the welcome signs for the state we are leaving!

It was cold and this was another night of camping and getting rained on.  Quick tear down of the tent in the morning and I think some of our gear is still wet a week later.
