Day 1: Rain? What rain??

We made it from Toronto to Gananoque yesterday through ZERO rain. We made it from Gananoque to Montpelier, VT through ZERO rain. We're very happy campers. ;)

Our adventure started by crossing the Canada - U.S. border at the 1000 Islands bridge. While we were waiting our turn, a friend of ours pulls up behind us and joins our line! Darlene had spent the night in a local B&B. After crossing the border, we stopped in Watertown. We would meet up with the rest of the group at the first gas station off the interstate. Or so we thought. As it turns out, they got off one exit before us and were waiting at a different gas station! We eventually met up for lunch after Darlene received a text message from the other group telling us their location. Once we met up, we rode together until we arrived at the hotel at 8pm. Once there, we had to leave quickly for dinner. Montpelier is a fairly small town. The restaurant we had dinner at closed at 9pm. Unfortunately for us, we arrived late enough on a Friday night that they actually ran out of several menu items. The majority of us ordered their clam chowder and spinach ravioli entree. A few of us also sampled some of their local beer.

Tomorrow's forecast for Bar Harbor, ME: 10% POP. Hahaha. =)

Good night!
