Yesterday morning, we left Adirondack Park, driving northeast through the Ausable River Valley. Once on the broad valley of Lake Champlain, we traveled north before crossing the lake just south of the Canadian border.
For the rest of the day, we meandered eastward through the scenic landscapes of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Unlike New York, which labels every creek, river and watershed, these northern States do not introduce their numerous streams to travelers, disappointing geography buffs such as myself. And, despite plenty of warning signs along the roadways, we did not encounter a moose on this stretch of our journey.
By nightfall, we were at our destination (a motel in Bangor, Maine), safely ahead of Tropical Storm Lee's predicted wrath. Rain arrived overnight and it is a bit windy this morning but the storm has weakened and is unlikely to affect our road trip schedule. On to Canada today.
