This was another delightful day for travel. It started out overcast, then cleared and was sunny the rest of the day. The temperature reached the low-70s.
The Route
The 219 mile trip was mostly on the scenic Adirondack Trail. We left the campground on NY-28N, switched to NY-8N at Poland, got on I-87N at Pottersville, headed east on NY-74 north of Schroon Lake, turned north on NY-22 east of Eagle Lake, and entered Vermont on VT-17. We picked up VT-22A at Addison and took Ethan Allen Highway (US-7) north of Vergennes through Shelburne to I-89. I-89N took us to Milton.
About the Day
We used the furnace to take the evening chill off, showered and were on the road by 10.
Dick made an assumption and headed the wrong way out of the campground. It cost us about 10 extra miles and 20 minutes of driving because we couldn't find a turnaround on NY-28S. There was an extra 8 miles of driving as we searched for a turnaround at Dave's.
Along the Way
Lots of country scenery and lakes.

Travel Trivia
GPS estimate = 202 miles. Odometer reading = 219 miles. There's no way the GPA could anticipate Dick's mistakes.
The Campground
Back-in parking went well. The site is very level and the price is right at Dave's.
