Vermont to Maine

We drove through resort land along Lake George and Lake Champlain toward Burlington. Had a bit of delay due to a bridge being out, but at least we got a free ferry across. Arrived at Meg's place to a delicious dinner. In the morning we walked around Burlington and had breakfast at a local place. Burlington was a much smaller town than we had expected. The view across the lakes into the Adirondacks was very nice though. The choice of park art was, however, a little suspect. We'll let you decide what the image below is.

After breakfast and our walking tour of downtown, we drove toward Maine. We stopped at Cabot for the third and probably last installment of our tour of US cheddar. Pretty good stuff, though again we liked the older stuff better. Picked up a block of very reasonably priced 2-year cheddar for the road. Overall we liked the WI cheddar the best, though that is likely due to the fact that 12-year cheddar was easily available. The 2-year versions of VT and WI cheddars were quite similar, WI just had the older stuff on the shelf too. Mmmm, old cheese.

After leaving Vermont, we drove along US-2 through NH and into Maine. We hit a lot of rain along the way, which was disheartening since we'd planned on finding a campground at the end of the day. By the time we got to the Acadia area it was near dark and thunderstorms were rolling through. We decided against pitching a tent in the rain and dark and found a crappy motel north of the island.
