We have travelled through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Ontario, Vermont, and New Hampshire, and driven about 1,460 miles.This morning, we left Burlington, VT and drove by Shelburne Farms.

This area is experiencing record high temperatures for this time of year, but the 85 degrees feels pretty good to us.We returned to the campground around 10:30 am and swam a little in the stream.After lunch, we took a cab into the Olympic Village at Lake Placid.

Had some great drinks at the bar, and great conversation with the bar tender and other patrons.Great day. Heading ... read more

We did the 1 hour tourist boat ride to Boldt Castle and "Millionaires Row" to see the insane houses on the private islands.Our campground was really nice, right on the bank of the St. Lawrence River.

When we returned, we could not open the combination lock; something obviously got hosed. So, I asked a cop if he ... read more
