CAN/MAR Week# 1

 Left Dexter on Monday 7/725 and drove to Letchworth State Park, New York. This is the site of the Grand Canyon of the East. The weather was drizzaly rainy atnd very muggy upon arrival.  This is an incredible park; The gorge is simply spectacular. We spent 2 nights here.


The Letchworth Park is ~17 miles long and relatively narrow.

On Wednesday 7/9/25 we headed to the Adirondacks. We stopped at a grocery store in Manchester, NY to buy some lime juice for Lynn's Mules and to watch the Fever game in the parking lot. (Ferver lost :( ) Beautifull drive through windy hilly roads, at times very touristy once we got to the Adirondacks . We arrived at about 6pm and set up camp and gave Zac a long walk. Thursday was a "rest" day to do some house and personal cleaning. 

Camp was Lake Durant State Area

On Friday 7/11 we drove to the Sugarloaf area of the White Mountains in New Hamshire. First we stopped at Ft Ticonderoga. Interesting Revolutionary War site. Then we took the Ticonderoga ferry to Vermount crossing the Green Mountians and then onto New Hamshire.

Saturday we drove to the Bar Harbor RV park for a day of showers and laundry. First we stopped in Lewiston, ME Walmart parking lot to watch a Fever game (they won). This is a massive RV park, but the walk to the showers and laundry has a view of the ocean.
