Entering New York via Ferry

The ride today was filled many brutal climbs as we left the Green Mountains and entered the Adirondacks. Apparently its just a little taste of what is to come through the rest of NY. All we know is that the rest of the ride is UP. Although the day was very difficult in terms of riding, we had some fun at stops. We stopped at a farmers market in Brandon, VT and I was given a beaded prayer key chain with a John Deere charm by a guy who we talked to for a while. At the stop for lunch we played some ultimate frisbee, and continued riding until we hit water, Lake Champlaine to be exact. We had to take a ferry to cross. 30 people on bikes on a ferry with other cars was quite a sight. On the other side of the river was NY. We had made it to 3 states! (4 if you count our pre-ride to Maine) The trip ended at the "YMCA" in Silver Bay, NY. Now, I placed YMCA in quotes because this was not your average Y, it was a resort on Lake George. They had everything you could image, even a bed, pillow, and room for all of us. We were getting spoiled tonight, and we loved it. After a dinner in the dining hall (yes it was basically a campus) we walked down to the lake, played some beach volleyball and shuffle boards till well after dark. And that was that, we had a great evening of being spoiled. The next night involves tents and sleeping outside...
