Day 3 Northward Bound

 I locked my keys in the truck this morning which was fun. I made a shim kit out of a fishing pole, wire hanger and electrical tape. I couldn't reach the front doors, so I pulled the latch on the rear window and squeezed my way in. By the time we opened the truck it was 11am, which happened to be the time to checkout. We still had to do the general closeup tasks to get on the road. It took a little longer then expected because last night was the first time we used the sewer system.

We headed north to one of two bridges that crossed Lake Champlain. The bridge we decided was out but they are running 24 hour ferries across the lake. While we waited for the ferry, Stephen Hawking gave us a weather update via our CB.  He might understand gravitational singularities in the framework of general relativity but he can't predict that storm clouds mean rain.





We stopped in Burlington Vermont for dinner and a walk with the pup. Burlington was quaint and charming. There is a walking street which offers food and shopping and a handful of homeless street performers. You know the normal stuff.  There were two people singing old punk songs, anti-flag and op ivy i think. (Will post photos of Burlington tomorrow because it's pouring outside and Jeans camera is in the truck) As we were walking to find food we saw a guy put on a wooden mask with antlers and a fur cape, playing a didgeridoo. King wouldn't go near this guy and kept looking for him as we walked away. This isn't my video but it is the guy.





Burlington was nice and so were the people. The last thing we saw was a crazy ass homeless man in his late 60's wearing padded yellow football pants blowing snot rockets on a wall next to our camper.

Arrived in Canada tonight just before a downpour. We are expecting rain for the next few days so we don't know what we will be doing for the next few days but we will keep you posted.
