We rode two-up on a loop from Waterbury, Vermont to Lake Champlain this morning. We had pleasant breakfast at The Bridge restaurant in Addison, VT then crossed into New York over the Crown Point Bridge. After traveling north on Rt 22 through Port Henry and Westport, we turned toward Essex. At Essex we boarded Lake Champlain Transportation ferry
M/V Governor George D. Aiken to Charlotte, VT and rolled back home.
My feculent moto ran swiftly and smoothly as usual. Not a single dim-witted remark concerning its appearance was encountered; however, when somebody asked what we were riding I answered,
a cropduster. Two discussions then ensued—one was about the benefits of taking the MSF course and watching 50 hours of motorcycle accidents on YouTube prior to making a decision to buy a moto. The other was about manual lymph drainage being an effective treatment modality for certain chronic conditions
and certain severe injuries. That one was out of my scope of experience, except for my having lymph nodes. I don't think anybody disputed the idea that it's better to learn from the errors of others rather than commit those errors yourself, especially when injury and recuperation are involved. Accord was reached within a world of discord. :giggles
The day has been sunny, breezy, entertaining and refreshing.
The ferry powers away from the dock. Camels Hump is dead ahead, appearing in the distance between two closer hills across the lake.
Two PRVers in the breeze.
