Did you know they raised tobac-
co in Canada?
As we traveled along the road
from Windsor, Ontario to Niagra
Falls, on the second day of our trip
through Canada on our way to
Maine, we passed an area whch bad
drying sheds for tobacco.
Maybe there is something special
about this section of Canada, sur-
rounded by water on three sides --
Lake Huron on the west, Lake Erie
on the south and Lake Ontario on
the east -- or perhaps there is
something unique about its sctl, but
here in "cold" Canada, they were
producing tobacco,
Seems to me it was burley tobac-
co {is that kind especially for pipes7)
-- whatever kind, they were grow-
ing this "southern" crop in Canada.
There was also much fruit grown
in this section -- apples, peaches
and some grapes.
Sometime in the afternoon we
reached Niagra Falls, where we
spent a few hours viewing this
natural wonder. We stopped on the
Canadian side, where we could look
across to the main part of the falls.
We could look down and see the
excursion boat as it took people up
to nearly under the falls.
But we did not tarry here, we had
a trip east to make. We drove
across the bridge above the fall in-
to the U.S.A. and followed the
shore of Lake Ontario.
This lake seemed to be "dirty" --
full of debris -- probably due to the
large amount of industry in the
ty, I was amazed to find a sparsely
populated countryside. Often a side
raod would be marked. "No Autos,
Backpack or Horseback Only."
It is beautiful country in here. no
high mountains, but somewhat Like
the Kiamichi Mountains in south-
eastern Oklahoma. As we progress-
ed east, we came to the town
Saranak Lake, the largest in the
Northeastern New York, yet only
6000 populatiovL
This area also has many lakes,
formed as the ice-age glaciers
melted.
We finally reached Keesville and
drove over to Port Kent, where we
boarded the ferry across Lake
Champlain. This was an experience
for the Walls -- it is fourteen miles
across to Burlington, Vermont.
We drove our little blue Rambler
on to the ferry beat -- we could not
see either shore at times -- we felt
like we were on the ocearL
From Burlington, we headed east
and a little north across Vermont
and New Hampshire. This is
definitely not a way to travel if you
