We set off today up the Cascade Mountain (staying true to our London roots), one of the Adirondack peaks. It was up through forest all the way, until we finally broke out of the trees to a great 360 degree view. It was a bit more of a hike than we'd realised when we set off from the car - it was a good job we had Pete's early morning purchase of some mini doughnuts to keep us going ;-)
We're staying in a motel right by Lake Saranac, and this evening we borrowed a paddle boat to go out onto the lake. It's beautiful, really peaceful, with forest all around. There's even an island in the middle of the lake with some little holiday cottages.
Tomorrow we're heading east into Vermont, and will be going within about 5 miles of the Canadian border. We've been debating whether it's worth popping over into Canada, or whether that will in some way invalidate our American visas and bring down the wrath of the border police. We have a healthy respect for the police here; we've seen lots of cars getting pulled over on the freeways and I'm torn between a temptation to drive fast and fear of seeing those flashing lights in my wing mirror!
