New York - Montreal Trek Enters Vermont


Closing out the main part of their time in NY state, the New York - Montreal Trekkers took the Lake George Discovery Cruise in the morning, touring the full length of Lake George on a century-old steamboat while learning about the region's geology, ecology, and Native American history.  They had lunch in Ticonderoga and biked up to Crown Point, where they dodged the day's heat by getting some soft-serve ice cream.

Back on their bikes, the Trekkers rode the Champlain Bridge across Lake Champlain, entering Vermont, and headed to their campsite at Button Bay, where they camped out under a lean-to so they could stay (mostly) dry during a thunderstorm.  Next, they'll visit friendly Burlington, VT!
