This morning we woke up to the sound of a few drops of rain on the tent. The campground looks very nice with woods all around, and is very quiet. There are a few RV’s in the camp, but it is like a ghost town campground, we saw no one outside last night or this morning. The reason why is mosquitos, we are attacked as we take down the tent and prepare to leave. It’s overcast and threatening rain, not as hot today. Pedaling, we crossed the Hudson River. We were surprised to learn that the headwaters of the Hudson were discovered 50 years after the headwaters of the Columbia had been discovered. About noon we arrived in Ticonderoga and stopped at the Fort which is on the eastern border of New York. We take the 4th ferry ride of our trip to get to Vermont crossing Lake Champlain, and as we cross it starts to rain, hard. At least it’s a warm rain. Even so we are soaked and getting cold as we arrive in Middlebury.
