Pulling out of the Lake Placid hotel into a light rain (yup wet again) and lots of road spray day 7 of our motorcycle vacation begins. The Adirondacks was just an awesome place to ride, even with the rain.
We needed to reach Port Kent, New York no later than 930AM in order to make sure we are on the first ferry of the day to cross Lake Champlain. We made it to the landing with about 10 minutes to spare! We were the first to board the boat (they move motorcycles to the front, not sure why but I enjoyed the perk). The ride across the lake on the Valcour (built in 1948) took about an hour before we rolled off the ferry and into Burlington, VT.
Our first stop in Vermont was Green Mountain Harley Davidson. I am very glad we did, Alan at Green Mountain turned us on to a different, more twisty, route over “Smugglers Notch” to get to our second stop. That second stop was the Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory.
During the factory tour we got to see some of the history of the company, it started in a gas station, and how the ice cream is made today. At the end of the tour we got to sample a new ice cream “Triple Carmel” which both Debbie and I really liked!
After leaving Ben and Jerry’s it was only a short time before we were on the
Kangamagus (and no I don’t know how to pronounce it!). This could have been a great ride through the White Mountain National Forest, but, alas, it was a chore and a bit of a bore. There were way too many cars on the road that had no clue on how to drive the curvy, somewhat mountainous route. There was even an accident in one turn that I have no clue how it could have happened without a serious lack of driving skill and experience.
Coming out of the other side of the Kangamagus I was beat. We found a hotel, had a Mexican dinner and went to bed! The next day we are heading to the top of Mount Washington. By the way we are over 1500 miles on the trip so far.
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!! 
The correct spelling is KancaMAGUS. There is no “N”,
Thanks that was a long day but it is fixed now.
