Stowe2020 - 4-Various

Thursday, Sept 3rd

On Thursday, I drove up to Hyde Park to mountain bike at Cricket Hill. The weather was gorgeous! My ride there is detailed on my mountain biking/hiking blog >.  In the evening we had Mexican food to go at the house that Bri rented.

Friday, Sept 4th

Friday was spent playing my Native American Flutes at various spots (Moscow Recreation Park, Perry Hill, etc.) In the afternoon Cris and I drove around looking for fresh blueberries to no avail but we stopped at a couple of farms and purchased a few things. Driving the back roads of Waterbury was interesting - especially Perry Hill Road.

Being our last night together with Greg (he headed back to Colorado early Saturday), the three of us had dinner together at Pie-casso a wonderful Pizza lace.

Saturday Sept. 5th, 2020

On mid morning Saturday, I road the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail from Hyde Park to Cambridge Junction. The trip is detailed on my railroad-related PedalPoint blog >.

On Saturday evening - although it was cold, I road a quickie on the bike path.

Stowe Bike Path - North End

Sunday- Sept. 6th, 2020

Sunday morning was spent working on Web and YouTube documentations of this trip followed by a visit with Cris to the Stowe Farmer's Market. In the afternoon, I mountain biked on the lower trails at Trapp Family Lodge.

Stowe2020 - 3-Wednesday

Another day of crappy weather on our vacation - Yeech! To kill the time, in the morning I found a nice trail right next to where we are staying and brought along the Double Native American Flute.

Magic Flute Hike - A little music along the trail :-)

0:30, 1:35 and 3:15  (ending with a happy fast-paced improv)

The weather got even worse in the afternoon so--while Greg worked--Cris and I drove up to Morristown and then over to Jeffersonville/Cambridge returning to Stowe via Snuggler's Notch. It was very foggy going thru the Notch. It felt like we were in an Alfred Hitchcock movie!

Stowe2020 - 2-Tuesday

Burlington

Plans were for biking but since the weather was overcast and sprinkling, we hopped on over the Burlington. instead.

Union Station

No urban visit is complete without documenting the train station!

Strange gargoyle-like statues dot the roof of the station

Down at the Waterfront

That of course is Lake Champlain with New York State in the distance.

Burlington Street Ambiance

We spent so time wandering around downtown admiring the older buildings....
