Soon after take off at 8:45 we arrived in Troy, NY. I learned my trivia fact for the day. I had not known that Troy was the "Home of Uncle Sam".
Very soon we were in Vermont. All the way through our travels north I have been astounded that we haven't seen lakes. Thank you Vermont for this delightful sight. We must be getting close to our northern destination.
As you can see from this sign these mountain roads could be hazardous to big trucks. So glad that we are on a motorcycle.
And we still have those mountain views.
What goes up must come down.
I second the comment that I am glad that we are on a motorcycle. This must be tough terrain for trucks.
We traveled along a couple of different streams/rivers.
We made it to NH and drove by another pristine lake.
It seemed like we were high up so I checked the elevation and we were all of 950'.
As you can see there are trees here that need some more time and sunshine to reach their summer potential.
Not a sign that you want to see on your travels. It didn't amount to much just an upstream temporary cement bridge while they were building a new bridge.
I just don't ever remember seeing driver education road signs.
And as the afternoon progressed the clouds became thicker,
and darker but we continued on without rain gear and stayed dry.
I am wondering if maybe it is time for our friend Bill to trade in that red Mustang.
Another NH lake.
And as for that dirty bike.
It is now clean and shiny. Ready for another day.
We arrived here at 2:00 having traveled 186 miles today and that makes the trip total thus far 2,176 miles.
Tomorrow on day 11 of our travels we will enter the great state of Maine. Our plans are to go as far as Portland and visit with Joycee and Laurie.
I haven't heard much good about the weather in Maine for the last 6 months. Sure hope you dry out your atmosphere ahead of our arrival.
