We woke up extra early so that we could catch the 8 o'clock ferry that would
take us across Lake George to Baldwin. We got our bikes packed up and decided we
would enjoy the breakfast buffet that the ferry offered rather than cooking
breakfast. This turned out to be a huge disappointment, but it was indeed food.
The ride to the other end of Lake George ended up taking about 2 hours and 30
minutes, which allowed some of us to take a nap. We got off the ferry, on to our
bikes and headed towards Vermont! The ride was very nice through rolling hills.
We stopped at a gas station with 24 different flavors of soft serve ice cream
and got some snacks before continuing on with our trek. We rode as fast as
possible as there was a rain cloud closing in on us. However, Mother Nature
proved to be the victor. The rain caught up to us and we got a nice shower as we
rode. Surprisingly the sun was shining on us the whole time it rained, which was
rather refreshing. We finally reached the bridge to Vermont and that marked our
"almost there" point on our journey that day. We rode through the scenic
farmland of Vermont and found a small county market, where we got supplies for
dinner and breakfast, then we continued on to Button Bay Park. A few of us went swimming
while others relaxed in the shade and began to prepare dinner for the night. We
started a fire and enjoyed conversation and the sounds of nature as we prepared
ourselves for bed and another day of biking that would bring us further into
Vermont and closer to our ultimate destination, Montreal.
