Boy, went on a tanget the other day and wrote this loooonnnnggg blog about campgrounds. Made my eyes water. Why do we feel we need to share everything? Thank goodness I deleted the mess...
Sept. 8 Hike of the Day: We went to.... The Marsh, Billings, Rockefeller National Historic Park, http://www.nps.gov/mabi/ in Woodstock, VT. We did not tour the farm, but took one of the many trails through the forest. We did a little over 3 miles. We could have done a few more but we had Pilot with us and he's not much of a walker and he really slows us down as he has to smell every bush and tree. There was a good portion up hill hiking. Being flatlanders, we need to do some more "up hill' practice hiking. Our legs could feel it tonight. We took the back roads on the way home. Unbelieveable farms, rivers and landscapes. Oh, and covered bridges. There's so many around here, you start to get blase about seeing them. We took a couple of pictures of a bridge between Woodstock and Quechee. All of the bridges we've seen are still in use.
Below are a few pictures. It was very overcast today so they aren't as pretty as they should be, but will give you an idea of what it was like. We may go back tomorrow and do a few more miles. (PS.. we did go back and tried a few of the other trails. Nice.) As usual, click the link below, select slide show and hit F-11 to enlarge them.
