That drive would likely have taken you near Massena NY and we found an interesting campground near there on one of our trips.  Robert Moses State Park is adjacent to the Roosevelt Lock, and you must drive UNDER the lock in order to reach the park and campground.  Quite a sight to wake up and see huge lake boats heading into the lock or emerging from it.  Tours of the lock are available, I think.

Here's a trip report for those who like to take a mountain bike along
 on their westy adventures… we certainly enjoy both on our trip to the Kingdom Trails!
