/ 3 / 2008 - Lori and I went on our first Fall Foliage
trip. We stayed in Brattleboro , Vermont .. a cute
little college town without the college. Did some
fishing in the west river at a few pullover spots.
We hiked at jamiaca state park along the river whereas
I climbed down to hit the water. Very cool hike ,
need to do again in the summer coz. We hit a park
and did a nasty straight up trail , I think it was
molly state park . The trail was rough. Lori was mad
at me .. we are out of shape
Went
to Townshend state park , it was closed for season
...bummer ... doesn`t make sense. Some beautiful scenery
especially with the turning leaves. See Summer
2008 and at the end are all the pics from this
weekend.
We
did a lot of driving. Went up rt 30 along the west
river , down 100 and then 112 back to brattleboro.
On sunday hit route 9 west to Bennington. VEry scenic
route with some pullover bluffs and some great views.
We drove down route 7 into mass and took route 2 ,
the mohawk trail home. WE have some pics of the 2
stops with 100 mile views. Beautiful. .
We
were tired and stopped at a picnic area next to a
running river and napped right there with the bubbling
river noise , I drooled on Lori`s back , she loves
when I snuggle.
Good
weekend .. much needed as I`m a bit mental during
the Fall because of work.
5/30/08- Went to Lake Champlain , stayed
in South Burlington
Vermont. Wonderful time .. Took a scenic drive
thru the islands that cut thru Lake Champlain with
views of the Adirondacks in the west and the lake
to the east. Absolutly Beautiful. There are a number
of small state parks that we stopped at for some small
hikes and a little fishing. I caught a small pickerel.
We
saw a lot of animals this trip including a turtle
, bunch of frog species , water snake , garter snake
, brown snake , a few deer , lots of birds and butterflies
which we can identify due to our nature guide. A lot
of hawks which we had trouble identifying. We saw
what we believe was a muskrat but could`ve been a
mink or fisher. See vermont
wildlife
I
have some pics which I will put up soon.
