One of the things that ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
scrottie and I have been wanting to do is getting out to see more of the region and do some camping. Since it has been a while since the last time we did any bike camping, I tried to set up a flexible itinerary. In the long term I like the idea of attempting a full bike touring trip up to Montreal, but for right now the trains aren't running so we wouldn't have a great way to get back. Instead, I thought it might be a good idea to set sail towards the north just to learn more of the terrain and remind ourselves of what it's like to go bike camping.
Poking around on the internet in search of potential camping destinations, I noted that it looked like there were a range of options in the Shelving Rock region of the Lake George Wild Forest. Sold! Along with that, I noted that it's possible to camp out at Lock 5 along the Champlain Canalway trail. Lock 5 is a mere 40 miles from home, while Shelving Rock is closer to 80 miles. If we weren't feeling so ambitious, we could stop at 40 miles, I figured. Always good to have a fallback plan.
