Out of Canada, in to Vermont and New York - May 7th and 8th

Broke camp in Quebec, packed all our good back into the RV, and off we went. My parents long ago drove the AlCan (Alaska/Canada highway), and my mom had commented that she "never thought she could get sick of seeing trees". We have a similar experience here.
Drove around the outskirts of Montreal and got stuck in our first Canadian traffic jam, and to the boarder. The US agent was one of those very professional guys, no smile, just the standard questions and we were back in the US in under two minutes (as it should be). First into New York, then took a Ferry over to Vermont (narrowly realizing that we had skirted around it without visiting - mon du!) and camped for the night.


On the 8th, took the ferry back over from Vermont to NY, and started driving the Adirondacks. A very pretty drive, but disappointed that neither of the museums that we were hoping to visit were open - one was closed on Tuesdays - Friday, and another still closed for the season. So rather frustrated there. Then, trying to get to the finger lakes, there was a major accident on one freeway, so diverted to another, only to find huge construction backups (stuck for hours).

B had a conference call, and I had a pre-arranged game night, so had to pull in early. The faites smiled on us though, and at least I was able to easily connect to the sat. Campground is also a marina, and is on some body of water that is a larval breading ground for all manner of bugs - ranging from things so small they can almost fit through the screen, to bug moths and mosquito hawks. Some of them of course got in (small hatch for handle access to the door left open), and the cat attempted to make good sport of catching them. Finally doing SOMETHING to earn her keep... I played late into the night, then worked for a bit while B worked on one of her many web sites.

Today, on to a museum of womans history, the finger lakes, and niagra, and early camping for our next bunch of laundering. Man, we do go through the laundry, even wearing things longer than we normally would...
