Some of the help we got along the way included some minor repair to the bikes. All in all we had very few problems and surprisingly only three flats. When we needed help there was always someone there. This is Kelly form the Bike Center in Middlebury, Vermont. He and his partner did a great job of getting us back on the road in a timely fashion. Doesn't Katie look like a biker dude?






Give me a V !!!! No that's not what Katie is doing, but we were happy to be moving on to Vermont and the New England states. As it turned out Vermont was Katie favorite state for many reasons.












To get from Ticonderoga, NY to Vermont one takes a ferry across lake Champlain. Johnny, who has worked the ferry for decades, was our guide today.












There are no reservations for this ferry so we got there early just in case there was a long wait. Well that wasn't a problem as you can see. Our car and a motorcycle were the only customers at 7:30 AM. Bruce, the cycle rider had hiked the continental divide trail years earlier from New Mexico to Montana. We met quite a few people who had done quests not unlike our own. Tom is ever ready with the camera.
