Road Trip!

Posted in General at 1:54 am by levelzero

We took a road trip today around Lake Champlain.

We left from Burlington to South Hero and then took the Grand Isle ferry over to Plattsburgh, NY.
From there we drove around a bit, mostly going north until we got to Fort Montgomery (also called Fort “Blunder”) near Rouses Point, NY (very close to the Canadian border). We went back to the Vermont side of the lake there across a bridge.

Right after that, we got to the town of Alburg, VT .. or should I say Alburgh, VT? I don’t know .. but neither do the people that live there, it seems. There’s a whole disagreement going on about whether or not the town’s name should end in an H or not. Alburg(h) is sort of unique in that it’s the only part of the USA that actually only touches Canada and is surrounded by water on all other sides (Apart from Alaska).

From there we traveled back southwards towards Isle la Motte and visited St. Anne’s Shrine. It’s a really pretty outdoor church (though the church itself wasn’t open now).

After St. Anne’s Shrine, it was pretty much directly back to Burlington. The sun was setting anyway, so there wasn’t much left to be seen outside, except for the sunset over the Lake Champlain islands.

Overall, I took about 120 pictures today. I will try to upload some of them soon.
