Earache Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Lunch was wholly forgettable at a small roadside café. Had a cool semi-circular bar but that was about it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Highlight of the day was in Essex, New York where we crossed the lake into Vermont. What a cool little town with great stone buildings from the 1830's dominating the local architecture. Ferry ride was nice as well... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Arrived at our hotel around 8:15 PM and sought out a place for dinner. Only to find that most places close at 8:00 por 9:00 PM. Our only option was the bowling alley down the street. I can't describe how bad that place was. Hopefully something better today will pop up as we cross into Maine. More later..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "mountains" are like the "Peaks" in the Peak District - so they're not mountains at but rolling hills. Lots of traffic and kinda crappy little towns we passed through. I won't be back. Did see a cool beach on Lake Ontario though... Decent weather at last Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 A Cog Railway at Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Climbs the hill for a fee - we didn't do the ride though ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 It actually got hot as we headed for Maine - about 84F / 29C, so Todd had to shed a few layers at a roadside park ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Roadside park had a cool water feature that looks like it used to generate electricity at one point in time... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 As has become de rigueur, we hot the hotel bar for dinner as we were too tired to go anywhere via Uber. It was an American version of an Irish Pub. Crap food but the beers were good - so it was a good imitation of an Irish Pub........... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
