leaving Elkhart July 5th and headed to Camden, Maine arriving on August 15th
It looks like the majority of our route will be on I90
we want to see Niagara Falls along the way and looking for any suggestions on places along the way.
DW would like to spend some time in Vermont too
we like to hike, bike and enjoy state and national parks
thanks
Ok you have your EZ-Pass don't you? It will save you money going that way.
I have stayed at Virginia's Beach campground but a nicer place is Lake Erie State park nysparks.com or Chautauqua Lake KOA Holiday, koa.com, on historic Chautauqua Lake. When in the area you should visit The Chautauqua Institution, 1 Ames Ave, Chautauqua, NY 14722, chq.org, (716) 357-6250. They always have interesting stuff going on. Something I found interesting is the Barcelona Lighthouse. It was the first gas fired lighthouse in the country, actually it was the first gas lited public building in the US. lighthousefriends.com is their website.
Lots to do around Buffalo to. Check out the Canalside area. they have revitalised this area along the Erie Canal.
Niagara Falls is amazing. You need to cross over to the Canadian side for the best of it. I would try to plan my day so you can be at the top of Skylon Tower for sunset. Don't run off because you will want to see the falls when they turn on the lights when it gets dark. Skylon Tower, 5200 Robinson St, Niagara Falls, ON L2G 2A3, Canada, skylon.com, +1 905-356-2651.
A must see and do is to ride the Maid of the mist. http://www.maidofthemist.com/.
One place not to miss when you get to the coast is Mystic Seaport Museum - Whaleboat Exhibit, Mystic Seaport, 75 Greenmanville Ave, Mystic, CT 06355
mysticseaport.org, (888) 973-2767.
That is enough for now. Any questions?
