One of the problems I seem to have is that the time it takes to update and edit this blog.  I have been remiss.  The following pictures are from the trip through the Adoraadancs National Forest in New York on Route 28 on September 23 or Day three. The area is sort of amazing since you see so many lakes that they end up numbering them, Lake One, Lake Two,  ... Lake 8. The following Pictures are from Day 4 which was September 24.  This was the route from the Saint Johnsbury, VT to Saint Andrews New Brunswick.   The bad news is that the pictures, because of the way I uploaded them, the are not in order.

The veins are all separated by 2 or so feet of sandstone/limestone.  So it means that the sea level, at some time in the far distant past was very much lower than it is today (coal comes from decaying organic matter such as trees). The mines, about 40 of them, were all worked during the last 100 to 200 hundred years.  A really nice tour ...

Oh, almost forgot we went to Peggy's Point to see Peggy's Lighthouse. Here are some pictures from the day. It starts with the trip to Peggy's Point and traveling back to the local equivalent of an interstate to head to the Vineyard. The images below were taken at Peggy's Cove These images were on the way down the east coast of Nova Scotia as we head to the four lane to the Petite Winery.
