TS_10 Hop 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

185 miles via I-87, NY 9N, I-87 again, NY 50 and I-87 (yet again). Cumulative route miles: 415. Auto miles: 185. Cumulative auto miles: 435.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hop was mostly on I-87. I have never driven I-87 north of Albany so this was a new road for me. It was beautiful! Soft mountains and deep valleys. And much of it with a view of Lake Champlain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gassed up when we left the hotel in Plattsburgh, stopped for a snack and a bit of shopping somewhere on NY 9N and got lost briefly near Albany (we accidentally shut off the GPS and missed our exit). We tried to visit Fort Ticonderoga but it is closed on Mondays. We did stop for a couple of hours in Saratoga Springs, to window shop.<\/p>\n\n\n

Interesting architecture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Saratoga Springs is a lovely town, even on a cloudy and sometimes drizzly day. It has some interesting architecture and equally interesting shops. Very pricy shops. Marlene saw a very nice leather jacket for only $1,300. Saw but didn’t purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got into our hotel after 7pm but that didn’t stop us from visiting yet another casino – the Rivers Casino<\/a> in Schenectady. Marlene won nearly $200 but I lost my usual $100. Still, up $100 as a couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our home for the one night in Plattsburgh was the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham<\/a>. Our room was not a suite but it was more than adequate. Very comfortable and quiet. Good free breakfast too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
