July 6-14, 2015
Terri and I went on a week long trip riding through New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. I wanted to ride the scenic backroads checking out the old colonial buildings and covered bridges. We had a very enjoyable time with good weather and no incidents.

This was our first long distance trip. We rode east along the 401 to the Trenton area where we stopped and visited a retired teacher friend named Dennis Godfree who I had worked with at my first school, Glen Park. From there we drove to Gananoque and the Thousand Island area where we crossed across to the US via the Thousand Island Bridge. The border and customs were on Wellesley Island. Then we rode through upper New York State and through to Vermont and New Hampshire.

We visited a few state parks to see waterfalls and the like and stayed in small motels. A great week of relaxed riding through some beautiful rural forests and farmlands.
