Tuesday, July 28, 2015

We were up early this morning, so we decided to leave the campground even BEFORE anyone was allowed to run generators.  We had such a trying time getting back into this spot, and we wanted to make our exit before too many people were stirring.  We hooked up the truck once we got out on Hwy. 30, and it all worked out very well.  We did alter our travel plans by going south, as our motor home GPS had a problem with us crossing in northern NY across the bridges over Lake Champlain, and into Vermont, but instead wanted us to go to Canada.  We had purchased too much wine and still had Wisconsin beer aboard, so we had to go to Plan B.  We're glad we did, and our day went very well.  We arrived at Waterbury, VT at 1:00 and stopped at Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Plant there and did the tour.  Our friend, Vern Irion really wanted us to stop here!  Twist my arm!  We had a great turnaround for the Rv, and we even found a geo-cache there, so we earned a souvenir for the state of Vermont.  Once we arrived at Montpelier, we took Hwy. 2 from there and will continue on that until we get to Newport, Maine.  It's a secondary road, but quite nice and very scenic.  Our campground is called Sugar Ridge in Danville, VT, and is very nice.  The sites are even level, which is a bonus over the last two nights!  We're sitting high atop the mountains here so our internet works very well, too.  That will give me a chance to catch up on posting my pictures and logging our caches.  This is just an overnight and we'll be stopping in Skowhegan, ME for two nights.  Do you think Skowhegan is Norwegian?  We'll find out.
                   This is our very tight fitting spot in Rollins Pond Campground, near Tupper Lake, NY.
