Cape Cod Trip - Day 7

Got a late start - but made it out of the hotel by 1100L. Immediately drove back over to Old Niagara-on-the-Lake (saw it on the tour yesterday) for some shopping. On the way, we bought some more ice wine (tastes great!) at Rief Estate Winery. We spent several hours in the quaint little village of Old Niagara - and bought a LOT of souvenirs. We ate at a restaurant called Upper Canada Cookery. Finished shopping at 1430L and then got on the road again. Crossed the border - quick this time - and got on I-90. Drove east, headed for Massachusetts. It then occurred to me that we had a unique opportunity to explore Upstate New York. After talking it over with Nicky, we decided to take the little Sentra up to the Adirondacks... Made it to Syracuse by 1600L, then took I-81 to Watertown. Used NY-3A and NY-3 to get into Adirondack Park. As it got dark, we found a campground on a pretty lake (Adirondack Forest Preserve Camping: Cranberry Lake) and pitched our tent within a few feet of the water. Nicky informed me that the weather here is much nicer weather than Port Huron. I like it because it is a quiet place. We toasted marshmellows and chatted by firelight, enjoying the evening.
