Terrain changed today as we entered the Adirondacks. Our 53 mile ride had the most difficult climbs of the entire trip. After our arrival we toured Fort Ticonderoga, built in 1775 by the French army. The fort is situated between Lake Champlain and Lake George. This remote post guarded the narrow waterways connecting Canaeda with Britain's American colonies. Whichever nation controlled Ticonderoga controlled America. We learned quite a bit if history today.
