You are sure going to see some nice country out there. Last summer, I was in that area, here's some pics of Lake George on Rt 9N, Eagle Lake on Rt 74, Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain & the Toll Booth, Lake Champlain Ferry at Essex, and Kancamagus Pass along Rt 112 in the N.H. White Mtns., and Mt. Washington
North Pole, NY near Whiteface is a cool place to stop and send postcards to the kids from Santa during the summer. There's a fantastic pie shop on 9N in Upper Jay in that same area, just a little blue house that's easy to miss. I gained 2 pounds looking through the glass.
The Mount Washington weather was unique, as we had 75 miles of visibility, but it sure was cold for August!
Enjoy the ride!!
