On The Road Again, But Wait That's Water !




After a fun filled week on Lake Champlain with Claire, Alan and friends, we left the marina this morning with a fullly stocked boat.  Will we see things we missed on the way?  How can you miss anything at 10 miles an hour ?

We did get a better view of Fort Ticonderoga as we passed.  The fort was built in 1755 by the French; captured in 1775 by the English taken in 1776 by Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys and then retaken in 1777 by the British.




As we passed through Whitehall which is known as the birthplace of the US Navy, we noticed a mansion on the hill.  See picture below.  A short distance further we found the "fixer up" also pictured.
