Thursday Update

When we left at 10:30 in the morning Thursday it was sunny but crisp...and we had the top down!  Cheri had on gloves and a stocking cap as we headed north on 9N.  We continued on until we made our way to Crown Point, NY where we crossed Lake Champlain on the Champlain Bridge into Vermont!   It warmed up a bit and we motored through the country without a hitch.  The leaves are not at their peak Fall colors but they changed more and more as we headed north into farm country.  Once we made our way through Middlebury College into downtown Middlebury it was lunchtime.  Leader Paul had made reservations at The Lobby, a nice restaurant in a very old building right on Otter Creek.  
After we ate we continued our long loop back to Lake George.  Along the way we stopped at an Apple Orchard/Cider Mill and sampled some very adult beverages!   The folks there were great and tolerated an influx of Miniacs with smiles!
We arrived back at the hotel at 5:30 and Cheri and I headed into Lake George for dinner.  The restaurant we went to first is closed for the season...bummer...we heard they had good lobster rolls.  We walked back and ate at The Lake George Beach Club and while it was windy and chilly the view across the Lake was beautiful!!
Back at Scotty's we hung out with a large group of new friend and finally called it a night around 11:00.

North on RT 9N past many farm stands.
