First things first, anyone going up 87 past Saratoga needs to get the fried chicken that beat Bobby Flay in a throwdown. You don;t need to steal their hot sauce, like I did my first time, cuz they sell it.

And no worries if you're going south on 87 but cant wait for Hattie's in Saratoga, take the first exit at the Champlain border & cross over 87, go past the Irving station on the east side of the highway up the hill to the next station that has a Subway sign in the window and VOILA! The gorilla fingers are killer. But be careful driving and get you some canned energy!

Great stuff, looks the same but different, lots more green in the trees.

Looks like it was all groomed for you too :<)

Did Caro bring home a striped tiger kitty for the kids to play with? Plenty of room in the Snyder saddle bags

You know her, she wanted to take ALL of the critters home.

Almost 100% smooth sailing, with a bunch of country-road construction sites & zec dirt roads to remind us that we don't need to kick up 1,200k of VTT or Razr dust anytime soon.

Mrs GutZ and MIL GutZ were just in Quebec City and the Surrounding Areas, You were most likely Stuck behind them! LOL

You should have gone in to the City, there was a bunch of Lambo's and Ferrari's at the Frontenac,  a gathering of sorts.

I'd love to share some of the pics she took of all of them.....

But she did not take even one.....
