At lot of driving and a little sight seeing - better than all driving!!

June 20 – I was up at 6:15 this morning!  I’m pretty tired now that I’m sitting down at almost 9pm to type before I forget the day!  We had some difficulty with the leveling legs – again!  The dash light would not go off and the console was showing an error but the legs were up!  Also there really was not a good spot to hook the truck up to the Rv but we had scoped out a spot on our way.  It was gravel and pretty level.  I put the legs down and retracted again and it still gave the same messages.  So we headed on our way and after a short while the beeping stopped but the dash light stayed on.

We headed north along the St. Lawrence for a while and gradually ventured easterly as we were going to be driving south along Lake Champlain.  The day turned out to be much longer than we planned as although the distance was fine, there must have been 30 small towns that the speed dropped and had a traffic light or 2 so it was kind of slow going.

We drove through a Mohawk tribe reservation.  You can tell by the large number of places selling cigarettes cheap!  We passed 2 small closed casinos but at end of the town was a huge new one but it didn’t look like they had much business.  We couldn’t tell if they were even open due to the virus.

About 1:30 I was getting pretty hungry!  We were about to get on the Interstate and there was a McDonalds with 5-6 trucker spaces.  Nice!  Worked out well other than they currently don’t carry salads, but I enjoyed my chicken sandwich! 

Bluff Point LH aka Valcour LH

From there we hopped on the interstate and in no time we were in Keeseville, NY.  The campground is not one I would recommend.  It’s very close to the interstate but not very level an of course, lots of trees so no satellite.  There are a lot of tent campers and travel trailers that are families here for the weekend. 

Once we set up and took a break, Bill said he would drive me to the lighthouses.  As much as I love to see them, I really didn’t want to backtrack all the way back north so we went to the closest one to us, Bluff Point AKA Valcour LH.  It’s on an island in Lake Champlain.  The lake is gorgeous!  Very vast and today there were lots of boats entering and departing at the dock where we were.

Power plants creating nice
waterfalls

On the way back we decided to take a shot and see what we could see of the Ausable 

Chasm.  We parked at the bridge and walked across and back to see both sides.  It’s really kinda like waterfalls and there are 2 powerhouses that intake the water and it spews back out with force.  We were planning to take the raft trip down through the Chasm but thank you Virus!!  We drove in and to the far end from the bridge where the dam is controlling the flow of the Ausable River.  A very impressive area for sure!

Kerry text me that my new lawn guy never showed up so Mark was cutting our grass.  That means the front has not been weeded or the society garlic all pulled up.  I will be working on further arrangements.  I text the guy and someone responded on his phone that he is incarcerated!  I know how to pick them!!!

Ausable River

I made fish for me and chicken for Bill and a new frozen Birds Eye bag of potato, sweet potato, broccoli and cauliflower that was seasoned.  You can put it in a skillet or microwave it.  It was very good, Bill even liked it!

We only have 30 amp here so we only had one AC going and while I was busy typing it went off.  Bill checked and the power was off.  We are just so lucky!  I called the office and he came out and the breaker tripped at the pole.  He asked if we had 2 ACs going and Bill told him no, just one.  So will see how the night goes.  It’s cooling off but gets pretty warm in the bedroom.

We don’t have things worked out after 3 more nights so…who knows!!
