Mad River Glen, Middlebury and Crown Point

On the way back from Stowe VT I did a bit of railroad archaeology and sight-seeing

Mad River Glen

The photo sadly doesn't really capture the view and sense of high how you traveled on a winding road to cross over the mountains...

Interesting tree remnant at the overlook

Bristol Railroad

Between Bristol and New Haven Junction I scouted for abandoned railroad relics.

Middlebury
I stopped in Middlebury for lunch at a tavern and had a beer sampler and shepherd's pie - How British old chap! It was a nice spot: Two Brothers Tavern, Middlebury, VT
Two Brothers Tavern 
The Beer Sampler
Worth mentioning...
I stopped for gas at this old fashioned general store / gas station. The gas pumps are ancient and didn't take a credit card so I went in to pay in advance. The cashier said: just filler up and come back and pay!

Crown Point

The Bridge over Lake Champlain takes you into New York State...
