08-09 Ferry Crossing

The view out the window of “The S.S. Dutch Star”

On Tuesday August 18th, we moved a relatively short distance of about 120 miles from Lake George, NY to South Hero, Vermont. We are in a very nice campground, Apple Island Resort, on an island in Lake Champlain. We are way north, only 30 miles or so from Canada. We came looking for more cool or mild weather and to tour a bit of northern Vermont. It is a very pretty area. We have moved out of the mountains into the Champlain Valley. We can still see mountains not too far away. Across the lake in NY are the Adirondacks. To the east are Vermont’s Green Mountains.

The drive over was very pretty as we moved north through more of the Adirondacks. Then we had a neat ride across Lake Champlain on a ferry, as seen above and below.

I am down at the campground laundromat doing our wash as I write this. I do the laundry while Monique gets started cleaning the RV. It is starting to sprinkle. This has really been a wet year for us. It has usually rained a couple of times each week since we left SC in April. Right now I am not complaining because the rain has cooled things off. We finally hit some hot muggy weather the last week in Lake George and our first days here. It is especially muggy here being surrounded by the waters of Lake George. Fortunately the forecast is for clear and somewhat cooler weather the next few days.
