In a fine State

Our departure from Lake Placid this morning was in very cool ( 30F) weather accompanied by the heaviest frost yet. The roads are made for Model A Fords ( if you take away the hills). They tend to be curvy and narrow and not too busy.
We came across Lake Champlain, which separates New York State from Vermont. The bridge is being replaced and in the interim, they offer ferry service. The fall colours are a bit stronger here than in the Lake Placid area. On the way we stopped in and did a tour of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory...also got to sample some. Neat place.
Upon arrival in Stowe, we decided to take the afternoon off and do our exploring tomorrow ( Thursday). We have been given the names of a few eating establishments and may investigate them or at least some of them. Two new albums have been added to the picture gallery.

  1. I don't know what it is about Vermont - my Dad always said it is "the civilized state" I just love it, as I think you know :-) Great photo's. Forgot to mention if you haven't been Shelbourne Museum is something to see as well as the Hope Cemetary in Barre.
