Shirlsd visit, Local Park Story trail

Recently friend-of-the-blog Shirlsd visited us in Vermont. This was her first trip on the right coast and we were surely glad to have her visit. Unfortunately the weather was not perfect for her trip and the leaf colors were less than perfect (one week later, splendid).

Here are senior and junior outside a cider mill (in VT language cider mill = tourist trap).

Here are junior and senior whale watching. Or more accurately, statues of whale tales next to the highway.

Here are senior, Shirlsd and junior at the same statue. The weather looks like Kansas right before a tornado.

Here is the view from the top of a tower in a local park where senior, junior and friends A and C did a "story walk" where a single page of a book hangs in a tree (the idea is you walk, read/rest and walk more). That odd looking mountain in the background is Camel's Hump.

Here are Senior and C at the base of the tower.
