Day 35

September 20, 2010

Today was a travel day. The weather was clear, but cool. We had only 113 mile to travel today, so we didn't leave Shelburne until 10 am. We traveled in groups of 2 or 3 rigs, ans spaced out our departure times so that we all didn't arrive at our destination just outside of Montreal, all at one time. We left Shelburne, and in a few miles, took a bridge across part of Lake Champlain to a group of islands in the middle of the northern part of the lake. We traveled this road for about 40 miles. The scenery was beautiful. The only problem was that there were no places where we could stop and park to view some of the scenic views. Most of the rigs stopped for fuel before we crossed the border into Canada, as fuel is a lot cheaper in the US. Fortunately, we have a large enough tank that we won't have to get fuel until we get into New Hampshire. During our trip today, we discovered that our CB Radio was not performing as it should. Fortunately, one of our group is a Radio Geek. We spent a couple of hours working on it and found that the cable between the CB and the antenna was bad. Our friend had all the tools and parts to make repairs, so now the CB is working correctly. We have a busy day planned with a bus tour of Montreal. They tell us it will last about 13 hours.
