Aug 25 – If you tried to call us you found out that we were out of service. The Adirondacks have huge holes in coverage I guess due to the mountains. Anyway, we’re back. The Adirondacks were really nice. It rained the first two days we were there. There are lots of small lakes dotting the country side. Most of the lakes had homes and private docks along the lakeshore; can you say ahhhhh? I included a photo of one for your viewing pleasure.
One of the towns we drove through had a farmer’s market downtown. We always stop at these. The ladies love to see what the locals have to offer. Val found an egg plant that grows eggs. Check out the photo. Those things really look like eggs. And you thought all eggs came from chickens.
Today we drove into Vermont and are at a town called Bennington. It has wildly painted mooses, or is it moose, all over the city. They look really cool. You see I grabbed a photo of Val being sniffed by one of those moose. She complained of not seeing enough in Alaska and here they’re all over the place and bright colors too so they’re easy to see.
The town is home to the Hemming’s Motor News museum and gas station. They have a fully functional gas station that looks like it’s from the 40s. There are Victorian mansions, covered bridges and several museums for us to take in while we’re here. We’ll probably spend a day or two checking things out.
You guys have had an incredible journey so far. I definitely love the Adirondacks. I went on a high-adventure camp when I was younger and we hiked and canoed through many of the lakes there - It is definitely one of my favorite places. I don't know if it can compete with Alaska or Utah or some of the other places you've been though.
