October 19, 2009<br><br>We drove to the ski town of Stowe and spent a sunny afternoon biking along the river, the path criss-crossing the river by way of ten bridges, bordering pastures and farms. The leaves are falling and the colors fading but it was still a pleasant ride ending at the Brookdale covered bridge. <br><br>

... br><br>http://www.shelburnemuseu m.org/<br><br>We went straight from there to the Ethan Allen III for a cruise on Lake Champlain. It was pretty windy and a little cold but absolutely beautiful. Then off to the hotel and a group dinner with our new Texan friends; a really great group of people :-)<br><br><br>

Two miles into the trip we had to stop at Perkins Pier in Burlington, VT, because Dave wanted to look at the 1820's Erie Canal boats that were docked there. The girls had bananas while they waited. Mom tried using Alexis' bike but since she was used to riding the tandem she forgot about the pannier weight on the back of the bike and pulled a HI-HO Silver moment and popped a wheelie. The biker's stopped at the Auer Family ...
