Day 3: Monday in Vermont and nothing happening

Started the day off with a great view of Blue Mountain across Lake Durant:

Last night we did a little looking at the stars through the clear skies. It was very cool. Much to Tim’s dismay we did not see any UFO’s.

Our trip to Vermont began with a little early morning rock climbing in Indian Lake!

Left the Adirondack’s and headed for Ticonderoga. The bridge was under construction so we got to take a ferry across Lake Champlain:

Vermont has not been the most exciting of states, it is hilly and full of farm lands, which are both very pretty. However we have not seen much state land to trek on, nor are there many places to snap a good photo. We did find a place where the floods of the last few weeks made a real mess though!

One thing that state has is a lot of churches.

Today we are heading to Maine, the coast I believe, where Tim wants to munch on lobsters and look, again, for bears.

Wish us luck!

Miss you.

A little parting shot for Chelsea, your dream come true: 

Day 2: Adventure at last

Woke up on the shores of Lake Ontario with gale force winds.

Upon further examination of the map we decided to point our compass toward the Adirondacks.

The trip was slow as most of New York seems to be one sprawling small town.

As we began to climb into the Adirondacks the rocks that we had been hoping for appeared before our eyes. Before we knew it we went from the edge of a cliff to the base of a rocky face. Before we set up camp we spotted a small trailhead for Bald Mountain and the Rondaxe Firetower.

 The view from the top was incredible:

We found a cool state park at Lake Durant with Blue Mountain in the back ground.

Tim took a tool around in the kayak to see the sights.

Today was a lot of travelings and climbing that Mountain, so we feasted accordingly on turkey gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, steak and roasted pork loin. My thanks to chef Tim!

Hope you are all well. This McDonald's has terrible WiFi. Hopefully Maine has better spots.
