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 anyway, kinda hoping to see a moose or a bear.

Getting together with a dear friend is so special. Kate showed me around town, wined and dined me and hiked my legs off (and Charlie's) in the wooded park up the hill from Main Street.
Montpelier is a dog friendly town and Charlie got to lick up fallen crumbs as we ate lunch at the Skinny Pancake - a crepe place with wonderful crepes. Kate took us 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 al...
With a long travel day ahead of us, we set out early in the morning for our drive across Massachusetts and into Vermont. Up until today, we really had not seen much of the changing fall colors. The drive through Massachusetts changed all that once we started driving through the western part of the state. Closer to the coast, most of the trees along the highway had still not changed colors. As we drove further inland, this started to change. Once we hit western Massachusetts; bright yellows, g...

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.
... Webb enlisted the services of renowned architects, Robert H. Robertson to design the buildings and Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. who conceptualized the layout of the farm, field, and forest. Olmsted incorporated the construction of carriage trails and roads with the strategic planting of hundreds of thousands of trees.
The family residence, now the Shelburne Inn, embodied the panache of the period ...
... I'll put a couple photos of the room.
On day 2, we decided to head north, away from the crowds, and find the ever shy Moose. Eight miles from our place is the ski resort which has a road to the top of the mountain, or you can ride the gondola (we were going to do the road since it was 36 degrees this morning). Well, when we started up the mountain we encountered a wee bit of wet snow, which basically freaked out all the ...
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!
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’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’ in the morning. What could be better?
Saint Johnsbury, Vermont, United States wcarver... faire la 1ère partie en "gondola" (télécabine) et finir à pied. En raison de cet éventuel orage, je voulais être au sommet avant alors j'ai opté pour la 2e option. Arrivé en haut de cette 1ère partie, il restait la partie plus difficile à grimper, une rando pour les randonneurs expérimentés ou préparés, avec un aller-retour de 2 heures. J'ai croisé des gens en basket (espadrilles) et après avoir fait l'aller-retour, je ...
Montpelier, Vermont, United States philocanThe whole purpose of the road trip was for Pat to get to Montpelier and watch his brother graduate from high school. Upon arrival it felt as though we had accomplished our road trip mission. Vermont's Capital city is an incredibly small, but a very picturesque New England town. The day we arrived we went to Pat's mom's house to have a little graduation party for his brother ...
