| A picnic stop along the way at a nice rest area |
On Wednesday we got underway pretty early, as we usually do on travel days. We expected to stay overnight somewhere on the way, and get home tomorrow.
It was another pleasant camp at Queechee (pronounced Kweechee) Gorge. There are hiking trails there, and a highway bridge with a great view of the gorge. There's always some traffic noise at the park, but it's well treed which muffles the sounds, and we usually camp at sites furthest from the highway.
This was a beautiful driving day, sunny and cool. Light traffic on the route we took, right across hwy#4 through Killington and Lake George. #4 is a lovely drive, especially with fall colours. There's not much colour here yet, but will be spectacular in another 2 or 3 weeks. We've been through here later in the fall on earlier trips.
From Lake George we headed to Adirondack Gateway campground. Another nice private park, rustic but good washrooms, with water/electric hookups for only $12.50 on weekdays with our Passport America membership. It's far enough from any busy roads to have no sense of nearby roads at all.
We had considered camping for a couple of nights near Niagara on Lake Ontario, but decided to just head for home and miss the weekend traffic. The trip home along I90 etc was uneventful, the border crossing was slow but no problems otherwise, and we got home in the daylight.
This trip had its high points (the Aliner rally, the PEI visit) but the rest of the trip just seemed kind of flat. We'll have to work on some different routes and destinations I think.
