The Border Motel Derby

... br>Et avant qu'il ne se remette à pleuvoir, on a eu le temps de faire la mini rando du parc... C'était sympa.
Et puis vers 16h, il commence a pleuvoir, on reprend la route, et là, juste après un virage, qu'est-ce qu'on voit? Non, pas un ours, je vous l'ai deja faite!!! Un bambi!!! Il attendait sagement au passage piéton pour traverser, sa maman lui a bien appris! Et comme un chevreuil ...

... proud of their state (and far less so of the rest of the country), Vermont seems to be one of the last stores of the gruff, frontiersman lifestyle that everyone seems to romanticize the wild west or the south with. In Vermont you can still find people who will greet you wandering onto their land with a gruff question and a firm handshake while in the same situation a cop would be greeted with a gun and quasi-subtle allusions to severe bodily harm. It's ...

... s first time out so she was a little nervous, ..but soon she was like a pro. The apres-ski was the best part though,

Ouhlala!!!! ça fait longtemps qu'on n'a pas mis le blog à jour! Alors voici vite fait, quelques photos d'une rando en raquettes faite au Mont Orford. C'était super agréable car il faisait beau (mais froid), et on a bien aimé ça la rando en raquettes!

The one 4 miles away in our local village of Glover is quite extraordinary with numerous mounted heads of deer and other animals that have been hunted and lots of entire stuffed animals.

A little tip here - do not rely on the GPS for destinations with no real address, like provincial parks. Stick with the good old fashioned paper maps. We finally got to our campsite 3 hours later than expected - a combination of GPS ...

... Em spent an amazing few hours out on the most fluffy snow ever, some of which was virtually untouched by other skiiers, so cool. The afternoon then saw me, Martin and Em get a little bit too daring at points including one Black Diamond run which saw more than a few wipeouts - to be fair however it did have a danger sign at the top indicating minimal ski conditions so I reckon we were pretty lucky to get own at all let alone in one piece! Heading home ...

Good evening. It's been a day full of activity. It's a good thing I slept between Chicago and Philadelphia and then between Philadelphia and Burlington. Yup, I must really be raring to go.

Or at least they all seem to know what to do. We just had our opening ...
