Once again we crossed the border into the United States but this time as Martin had not been through Border Security before they wanted to interview us about our trip. We were marched into the Office where Martin had his fingerprints taken, the only hiccup was that he didn't know his right hand from his left (ha) but we answered all the questions they threw at us and an hour later we hit the road again.
Driving over the next couple of days we hopped from New York County to Vermont. Stopped at Apple Island Resort, South Hero. Al purchased a fishing licence that expired on 32/7/2010?? Absolutely true. Still working that one out. We hired a motor boat and went fishing on Lake Champlain.
The final tally: caught one ( ate it ), lost two and threw one back.
Arrived back at the campsite just in time for the "Hawaiian" dinner/dance. The meal was fantastic and the 200lb pig on the spit was cooked to perfection. The Band played some real oldies but goldies. Martin was last seen wearing a grass skirt and lau, bopping to the 60's music. I think retirement suits him. 
Here are pictures of our next camp called Rideau Acres Camping Resort near Lake Ontario. Stunning views but the facilities were woeful. We would never go back there.
Our friends in Oz will laugh when they see Tamworth is haunting me. The home of country music!!!! arrrgghh Again it's a case of names the same. This one is in New Hampshire with not a hint of Slim Dusty anywhere but couldn't resist boot scooting under the sign!! yee ha
Found Remick - Country Doctor - Museum and Farm - excellent. Dr Remick Senior and Junior gave 99 consecutive years serving the community. Lots of nature walks, farm animals, flowers, vegetables and hands on arts and crafts.
