Very pleasant top down start: clear skies, 18C. We took I 95 to Newport, then got on US 2 for the westward journey through Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The road was mostly very good, with many sections freshly re-surfaced; in fact just before the Vermont/New Hampshire border, they were finishing widening and paving. Had a lovely (healthy!) lunch at the Moonbeam Café in Gorham, NH; it’s very much a tourist town and they were getting ready for the Memorial Day weekend.
The White Mtns were gorgeous as we drove by - we never seem to have enough time to stop, unfortunately.
We joined the I 89 at Montpelier to the top of Lake Champlain, then slow-going on US 11 and 37 to cross the border at Cornwall; passed the impressive windmill “farm” between Mooers and Chataeugay, NY. Put the top up mid-afternoon, as we were getting too much sun.
The final leg on the 401 from Cornwall to Brockville was mind-numbing. The B&B in Brockville made up for the extended journey, though! The Green Door is a completely renovated ex-Pentecostal church (cir. 1928) with 4 or 5 charming, themed rooms. Ours, the Majestic, was a tribute to 30’s era movies.
The Green Door, Brockville
