They tooled Rt. 28 between Old Forge and Ticonderoga through the glorious foliage of the Adirondacks, passing lakes and forests. Leah said the biking was beautiful, the weather perfect though a little chilly. Last night they had a beer in a bar where there was a bar fight between two inebriated patrons. Harsh words and then fisticuffs were exchanged - very exciting! Last night too, it rained and CR got a little wet and soggy but the weather was perfect again this morning and so they peddled on past Fort Ticonderoga which they visited, the place of the great Revolutionary and French and Indian War encampment.
They took a short ferry ride across Lake George and hit Orwell today where they are spending the night. Leah said Orwell is a "perfect very clean and pristine little town". Chuck is feeling nostalgic , I'm sure because we spent a lot of time in the Adirondacks as kids, on hikes and canoe trips. They are camped in the old churchyard.
In other parts of the world and as an earmark of the time, the McCain campaign is getting ugly and desperate and telling horrible lies to the ignorant masses, some of who are stupid enough to believe their drool about Barrack Obama. And that dummy Sarah Palin - George Bush in Lipstick is babbling her stupid drivel. Still Obama has an 11 point lead indicating that the stupid, lying carnivorous Republicans are on the way out (for joy for joy). Also the economy is falling hard and fast and we may be heading into a depression.
But hey, I'm not depressesd nor are our two traveleers who are hitting the home stretch. They'll ride only 20 miles tomorrow to Rutland and meet Kathy there on Saturday. Then it's just a few more days across New Hampshire to Maine. So the trip's in it's last weeks and there can be no better place to be. Soon their toes will be touching the great North Atlantic and their dream will be realized.
