The End of New York

We have tried to send some local history your way on our trip. Today we rode into Ticonderoga New York which sits right across Lake Champlain from Vermont. Fort Ticonderoga has played a big part in America's early history including the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. Fort Ticonderoga is a classic star shaped fort with a ditch surrounding the out ramparts. This is a picture of one of the walls with the main building inside.

This is two things:
One - A vision test.
Two - A brief description of the main events in which Fort Ticonderoga played a part.

On We Go: If all goes well we are down to the last 5 days of riding. We have about 340 miles to go crossing Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The forecast is for lots of climbing and heat. We are looking forward the rides, completing the trip and returning home to all our friends and loved ones.
