In Vermont, the union of nature’s wonders and outdoor pursuits promises a memorable and enriching experience for all who seek it.

Green Mountains closer, quieter then the Adirondacks

Believe it or not, it’s actually a closer drive to the Green Mountains then the Adirondacks from Albany and I’d argue a nicer drive too. Certainly the last ten miles along US 7 are quite nice with views of Glassenbury and Equinox Mountains along the way.

 Heading Through Prosser Hollow

I’m kind of bored with this part of Vermont but it’s certainly easy to camp somewhere you know well. I went up there for this Memorial Day Weekend but I’ll doubt I’ll be back for another year. But It’s certainly much quieter than camping on Route 8.

Shep Meadow

A beautiful morning at the Shep Meadow section of the Deerfield River along Forest Road 71 in the Green Mountain National Forest.

Warm

Maybe the fire was a bit too warm, with the relatively mild conditions we had last night.
