Drove up to Lake Champlain in VT for a week on Knight Island state park. That is a pretty damned big lake! 120 miles north to south. The island we stayed on was a two and a half mile paddle across, which was nice. Gave me a chance to paddle across every day or two to get ice and beer and escape the niece and nephew who came with us. Nice kids but you forget that 11 year old boys entertain themselves by irritating everyone around them. I had the dubious pleasure of listening to approximately 9,855 verses of "Once there was a moose,
His name was Bruce,
He lived in a caboose,
And he drank orange juice," as we drove through Vermont on the drive there. I wanted to drink a little orange juice myself after the first hundred verses, so long as there was a bunch of either vodka or cyanide mixed in the glass. Ended up renaming the lad "Irritron," but he took that as a compliment and created a new super villain character, complete with an irritating voice.
Great vacation!
