Saying goodbye to Vermont…
OCTOBER 7, 2015 MY STORY CONTINUES as we prepare to leave Vermont in the morning. Even though we’ve “packed-up” hundreds of times, I always kind of dread the “chores” attendant to “breaking camp.” Everything must be stowed so it won’t slip or break as we drive down the road. The “patio furniture” and Weber grill … Continue reading
Brattleboro, Vermont…
OCTOBER 5, 2015 MY STORY CONTINUES with observations and photos of Brattleboro, Vermont. Located in the southeast corner of the state, it’s just a few miles down the road from Hidden Acres Resort where we’re staying. Brattleboro is one of those places like Sandpoint, Idaho or Kennebunkport, Maine where upon seeing it for the first … Continue reading
Wilmington, Vermont…
OCTOBER 1, 2015 MY STORY CONTINUES. My story continues with another close call about some pretty frightening weather conditions. You’ll recall that when we were in the Boston area last June, we had a tornado warning…not an advisory but a warning. There’s a big difference! After we scurried to safety, it turned out to be a … Continue reading
Fall has arrived in New England…
SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 MY STORY CONTINUES. My story continues with our arrival a few days ago in the tiny town of Dummerston, Vermont, home to the state’s longest covered bridge, which spans the Connecticut River, and formerly home to the well known author Rudyard Kipling. About 2,000 folks call Dummerston home. It’s located at the outskirts … Continue reading
Shelburne Museum – Day Two…
LABOR DAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 2015. IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME. RV’s were pulling out of Apple Island Resort this morning like rats leaving a sinking ship! After a long summer vacation lots of kids return to school on the day following Labor Day, and of course many still-employed folks must get back to work after … Continue reading
Shelburne Museum – Day One…
SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 THIS PLACE IS SPECIAL! Museums often bore me to tears. But not this one! Located in Vermont’s scenic Lake Champlain Valley near Burlington, its 38 exhibition buildings and their contents constitute one of the nation’s finest and most well known museums. Most of the buildings are historic, and were relocated to the … Continue reading
Lake Champlain, Vermont…
SEPTEMBER 4, 2015 HERE WE ARE. It’s kind of a mouthful, but let me describe to you where we are. Here goes: We’re at the Apple Island RV Resort in South Hero, Vermont. It’s located on South Hero Island, not to be confused with North Hero Island, in the middle of Lake Champlain. The Vermont … Continue reading
Lake George to Bar Harbor…Part 2.
JUNE 5, 2016 DRIVING THROUGH NEW HAMPSHIRE. On the second day of our drive to Bar Harbor, we traveled for miles through the beautiful state of New Hampshire. “Live free or die” is the state motto. I don’t know about that, but the scenery in New Hampshire is definitely “to die for.” Here are some … Continue reading
Lake George to Bar Harbor…Part 1.
JUNE 3, 2015 FROM LAKE GEORGE TO BAR HARBOR. It’s about a 450 mile drive from Lake George in Upstate New York to Bar Harbor, on Desert Island in the state of Maine. It’s also a rather time-consuming drive, because the winding roads through the countryside force a pretty slow pace…speed limit signs of 30 … Continue reading
