42 miles
New sore muscles from hill climbing. Vermont immediately feels different from New York: dairy
cows, clover fields, large mowing machines, and Subarus. Left early in the
morning but already feels hot by 9:30 am.
This morning we took the Ticonderoga Ferry across Lake
Champlain. One of the guys on the ferry told us a couple with a tandem and
a trailer were on the ferry about seven minutes ago. We
assumed they were the Ohio couple with a Bob trailer that we met on our first day. In a little while, we saw them at the top of a hill. As we
got closer, Mac said, “they have a Burley trailer, not a Bob!” It was a
different couple, but they're also from Ohio (Dayton area) and left home
about the same time we did.
Long lunch in Middleburg with our new
friends, Stephen & Zella.
Decided to sleep in a hotel. I was checking on prices and a guy
in a beat up Subaru with a kayak on top stopped and invited Mac to use his shower and camp in his backyard. We took up his offer and tried
his “Vermont Sardines” - little trout he caught from the river behind his
house.
