Vermont

We started today in Winooski (part of Burlington), Vermont (just across from New York) and ended in Littleton, New Hampshire (just across from Vermont). So today was basically all Vermont — which is beautiful. It was rainy this morning, so we headed out late, but it cleared up after noon.

We went to Camels Hump State Park to try to climb Camels Hump mountain, but the trail to the summit was closed until memorial day, so it could dry out.


So we walked the much shorter "view" trail, instead. This picture shows the mountain, but the summit is shrouded in cloud: even though the sun had peeked out, there were clouds hanging around the mountain the whole time we were there.


We did, however, find this toad. He was very friendly and consented to pose for pictures...

... after I moved him into the sun.


Nothing particularly Vermont-ish, but they were fun to take.


And look at all that nice, soft bokeh!

After the hike, we went through Stowe and stopped off at the Ben & Jerry's factory on the way for their tour.


We also found this covered bridge (Tracy has a thing for covered bridges). It is the last still-operational covered railroad bridge in the country. The sign says so.


However, the sign is dated 1968. It's not actually operational anymore.
