Tuesday, July 23, 1929 - Johnstown, NY


What impressed me most about today’s trip was lakes. Beautiful, big lakes. It was fairly late when we got started this morning and we didn’t go so far on our way today. We traveled thru hills and pines on good roads. If the roads are good we can enjoy the scenery. About eleven we got to Burlington where we got our first glimpse of Lake Champlain. We looked across and the mountains across the lake were lime. We followed the lake to Crown Point where we crossed by a ferry. At Charlotte before we crossed we had lunch at a pretty clean green dinner. The ferry was tiny just big enough for three cars. Later on we followed Brant Lake for five miles. About three we came to the town of Lake George. Lake Gorge and Champlain are joined by a river. We followed it for a while at the North end and then saw it again at the very Southern tip. Whenever we followed a lake shore we saw heaps of summer cottages. People in swimming and paddling canoes. Looked no end of fun. We drove in here about six thirty standard time (every few towns have day light saving, very confusing). We’re staying at a tourist home that we’ve seen so many of.
