I drove down scenic route 100 of the Green Mountains enroute from New Hampshire. Unfortunately, it was raining fairly steady and I was unable to get any good photos. The following day, it rained all day long, non-stop! But, I stayed an extra one to make up for it. Vermont is a another gorgeous, plush, green state. The next day, I attempted to take photos despite the continued showers.
Quechee Gorge is known as Vermont's little grand canyon
It's like a rain forest here. Literally ;) With gorgeous ferns covering the forest floor.
The town of Woodstock was named one of America's prettiest, and I can see why. The architecture here is so picturesque. They are celebrating their 250th year!
There are still many covered bridges left in the Northeast, and still in use today.
Just outside town is Sugarbush Farms, where they make maple syrup and homemade cheese!
The "sugar shack" where the sap is boiled down into syrup.
Here's some interesting numbers regarding this farm. That's a lot of sap! And the maple trees tapped are between the ages of 40 and 100 years old.
Inside the farm house kitchen, you can find the family processing home made cheese! They make a variety, and you could sample each kind! ;)
Each block is hand dipped in wax and wrapped for preservation
The town of Weston is know for it's old general store, where you can still find old and hard to find items. It's like stepping back in time.
Shelves of old penny candy. Which is no longer a penny by the way ;)
And chocolate galore! ;)
And shelves of Maple syrup!
Next, it's off to the Adirondacks in New York. Yet another gorgeous mountain range and I have some sisters there to go visit! :)
