We left Montreal mid-morning and headed up to Quebec for what was supposed to be about a 3 hour drive. The highway from Montreal to Quebec was pretty rough so we had a bit of bouncing around in the RV. Fortunately, the Allegro Bus smoothed things out a bit with its independent suspension and dynamic air shocks. There is one bridge crossing the St. Lawrence into Quebec City. We came upon an enormous amount of traffic a couple miles from…
Our last day in Westport, NY was spent in the RV due to non-stop heavy rain and winds. It rained all day and all night. There were numerous severe thunderstorms all around us. We had about an hour break in the downpour and took advantage of it by getting out for dinner. We ate at the Westport Marina. As soon as we got back to the RV the downpour started again. When we awoke the next morning the rain had…
We finally got a day without rain so we decided to take a drive over to the Adirondacks Park area. Our first stop was going to be the Whiteface Mountain peak, via the Whiteface Veteran’s Memorial Highway. However, as we pulled up to the entrance we found the mountain top covered with thick clouds. The cost for us to travel the Highway was $23. Considering this, and the zero visibility, we turned around and headed to Saranac Lake. We found…

Rain was in the forecast and it was very hot and humid. In the morning, after a night of non-stop rain, we left Pine Grove and headed up to Saugerties, NY arriving early afternoon. We arrived right along with…
This was day 1 of our nearly 3 month Canada Maritimes trip. We had to close up the Lake House and winterize the boat. The service shop was quite surprised when we requested a winterizing appointment in the beginning of August. We will miss the lake. August through October are great months to be in the mountains and on the lake. However, I’m sure we will enjoy our first major RV adventure in the Northeast. I can’t wait to experience Fall…
It is hard to believe that our departure date, August 9th, is upon us. We’ve been planning this trip since late last year, when we ordered our RV. We figured it would be good to stay on the East Coast for our first big trip, and I’ve always wanted to see Fall Colors in the Northeast. Below is the roundtrip route we will be following. We’ll be spending nearly a week on Lake Champlain in upper NY before entering Canada. We’ll…
