Are We There, Yet

Today was our last day of traveling as we entered Lake Champlain and followed the narrow passage way to the wide open waters near Fort Ticonderoga.  Over the past 300 years, Lake Champlain has served as a highway and battleground for the armies and navies of several wars.  There were four French and Indian Wars,the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

After passing beside the Champlain Bridge which is under construction, docking, and unloading all of our needed junk ( i.e. golf clubs, dirty clothes), Claire picked us up and we settled in at the Ayer Camp.

For the next week we'll be playing golf, going to parades, eating too much and watching for Champ, the Lake Champlain monster !

We won't be posting until after the 4th when we plan to make the return trip to Huron, OH.
