Comfort Inn And Suites Saint Johnsbury

... all in a short couple hour drive. We stopped in North Conway, New Hampshire for lunch and then returned to the Mountain Resort at Loon ski resort by afternoon (Our hotel for two nights). In the late afternoon we took a gondola to the top of the ski mountain. At the top, we climbed to the top of a three-story observation tower. COLD, windy, COLD, BEAUTIFUL VIEW! Finished the day having a real nice dinner with 4 of our new friends.

The theme for today was eating our way across Vermont, and it all started off at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill where we had an introduction into the apple cider pressing process. Funny how different and wonderful apple cider tastes when you drink it right after it's made. They also make an apple cider doughnut that is to die for, especially hot and fresh.<br><br>Next stop the Trapp Family Lodge, up high ...

On our trip from Boston, we took the long route ....via Portland, Maine. We did find a great road side stand and sampled the local favorite, the lobster roll. Very good. We then headed for Bethlehem in the White Mountains of Northern New Hampshire. On the way, we kept seeing more and more color on the roadside and in the hills. When we got ...

How glorious to get off the toll road. I wound through the wonderful Adirondack Nat'l Forest Area and marvelous little towns. The funny thing about this drive were the signs saying "Moose Crossing" and a couple of "Bear Crossing". The road was up high and often flanked by rock sides. I had a hard time imaging either animal making it up to the road, across the grassy median and down the otherside. I looked carefully the whole time ...

... to see the figurative art show at the Vermont Art College and I saw some wonderful pieces done over the past decade or so by students and alumni. <br><br>The air here is so wonderful, I doubt I have ever enjoyed breathing this much. I took so many photos to show you this lovely peaceful town, it will be hard to winnow them down. Their administration ...

... lugar para pasar unos días, especialmente para los montañeros (que hay unos cuantos de los que leen este blog). Hay escursiones desde para viejillos hasta de 8 horas. De todas ellas dudamos entre una excursión de unas 3 horas a la montaña Pemigewasset o entre 3 diferentes de hora/hora y media cada una. Después de la experiencia de ayer y sabiendo que hay un 30% de probabilidades de lluvia escogemos la segunda opción. Así por lo menos ...

I'm at home, hanging with friends and the parentals. I'm working out the final details of my upcoming adventure and downloading an ambitious number of telenovellas in a last-ditch effort to learn a bit of Spanish before flying to Guadalajara. Will I succeed? Stay tuned!<br>

What am AWSOME place I found to spend the night! I'm in East Hardwick, Vt. Just off RT 15. I was half kidding when I posted my blog about staying in the woods along the side of the road, but I found a real nice spot. There&#8217;s an old railroad bridge across a stream, the sun is just going down, and it looks like a thunderstorm is on the way. There is no TV, but I have the Red Sox on the XM radio. I may try some fishin&#8217; in the morning. What could be better?

... I have been on this trip. And what would be the common interactions at all these nearly weekly parties and gathering? Even at the weekly Parker's Pies pub night (the only pub in a 60 mile radius which pretty much attracted everyone in that 60 mile radius) people would be chatting about their new gray water toilet systems or how they had just built a new greenhouse using hay-bale insulation as opposed to the recycled paper insulation they used when they hand built ...

In the morning, we woke up to find it raining. Dad was a little disappointed because the day before he had so fallen in love with Vermont that he exclaimed he wanted to move there. But, once he saw it rain he claimed he refused to live in a place that rains constantly. After investigation he found that it's not always like that, so that made everything ok again. I told him that it had to rain there or it wouldn't be so green, I think that made him feel ...
