We left our beautiful room at the Bar Harbor Inn this morning and headed into Acadia National Park. While in the park, we went to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. The view was spectacular! The temperature was about 40 degrees and the wind was about 20 knots at the summit.
Our plan was originally to head to Buffalo and Niagra Falls by way of Montreal and Toronto. However, after listening to the wisdom of the New Englanders, we decided to trek through Maine, to New Hampshire, to Vermont, and finally into New York. We estimated the distance to be about 720 miles (by Yahoo maps). Our plan was to stop overnight in Albany. However, with Holly "Andretti" at the wheel, we continued through to Herkimer, about 180 miles from Buffalo. Herkimer is located on the north shore of the Erie Canal. After the fine hospitality of the New England establishments, we checked in to the Herkimer Motel and ended up eating at the nearby Denny's Restaurant. After all, everybody knows you don't plan on eating at Denny's, you end up at Denny's!

Tomorrow morning we will head out early to get to Niagra Falls and enjoy a meal at the world famous Anchor Bar in Buffalo! (Gene, we'll be enjoying wings and beef on weck, in your honor!)
Tune in for the report tomorrow evening!
