Drive Across Vermont - Color and Bridges

We started the day by leaving Burlington, VT at 9:00 and headed in a meandering (but well planned) way east across Vermont. We stopped at five covered bridges along the way.

As we climbed higher in elevation in the Green Mountains, the color in the leaves became more intense. We found a few places to stop that had good views and photo opportunities, but much of the time we just enjoyed the colors from the van, except for Paul, who shot lots of pictures out the window as we drove along. We haven't looked at them yet. It was our opinion that the storm that came through took its tole on the leaves.

Later in the afternoon we stopped at one of the recommended waterfalls. It was a bit of a hike to a good view point, but well worth it.

We had lunch north of Stowe and then desert at a mandatory stop at the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory. We didn't have time for the tour, but enjoyed some very tasty ice cream.

It was just a little after 6:00 when we pulled into the Nootka Lodge in Woodsville, NH, just across the border. It is a quaint log-cabin place. For dinner we walked across the road to a local restaurant that had good food, and that is where we will have breakfast in the morning.

Tomorrow we will do some more meanering through the White Mountains of New Hampshire and end the day in Boston.

That's it for now. Grace and Paul
