To Vermont or Bust

1 Boat launch at campground on Lake Bomossen


August 20 Wednesday: On our way to Vermont, we saw our first color! It is not hard to imagine how gorgeous these mountains will be when they all burst into full color. Kind of exciting but then I am easily amused. Short drive today only about 100 miles. Two lane road with not much traffic. Roads are in good shape. We only made one mistake; that was to stop at the Welcome Center...not a good idea. You see, we were going to kick back for a few days. I walked out with enough reading material for two days So much for kicking back.



We found a campground on Lake Bomossen which is about 20 miles from Rutland. Not a lot of campgrounds to choose from. We have electricity and water but no sewer hook-up. We are in one of the six pull throughs. Lots of grass and no one next to us. After setting up and walking dogs to see the rest of the grounds, we got our reading material out. Well, look at this there is a free concert in a park in Rutland! This is going to work out because the couple we met in the Poconos had recommended an Italian restaurant called The Palms. What a great dinner! Larry had lasagna and I had a chicken dish. Good atmosphere and a glass of Merlot set off the evening. Now off with the locals to sit in the park and listen to some music. How bad can this be the first song was a James Brown song. Headed home after about 1 1/2 hrs.



Forgot to mention we bought a GPS for the rig. Larry says "we were just a little too long in getting it". It helps getting into the correct lane to turn off freeways and finding all the country roads we end up on. We have only traveled over 6000 miles without one. Sure did relieve the stress level today.


Good weather today high of 76 low of 56. People say we Californians brought the sunshine. They have really had a lot of rain.


Tomorrow off to see the Norman Rockwell Museum.


Good Night!
