Travel the USA

After the country re-opened after Covid-19, we are
"On the Road Again."
Please enjoy the 'armchair travels' and feel free to make comments.

In September of 2019, we made the
'epic' trip to the east coast for the first birthday of our grandson Evan.
Since Evan's birthday is in September, we decided to join a 29 day RV Caravan for the New England fall color. The tour starts in Maine and ends in Niagara Falls. All told, we did about 12,000 miles with the new truck and trailer.

Quechee, Vermont - Sept 28, 2019

We relocated campgrounds from Ashland, NH to Quechee, VT.

The afternoon was pleasant, starting with a lunch at an old mill on the river, near a covered bridge. 
The old mill has been turned into a restaurant and glass blowing factory, with extremely high quality blown glass objects.

 The restaurant has a good view of the water and the covered bridge.




Glass Blowing -  Start with a blob and turn


 This is the blowing part

 Insert the blown blob into the furnace

 Out comes the start of a glass vase

 Work with the tools


The finished vase  is ready to put into the cooler.

This mile long gorge was cut into the granite at the end of the last ice age
since it was the only outlet for the large glacial lake.

 View from the top

 Half way down
 view at the bottom- the gorge is 165 ft deep.


Enjoying watching the bees, before hiking back to the top.

Last stop - a craft shop in Woodstock (in Vermont)
Love this display - before and after the felting process!
