Post 58 ~ Falling Up Tour ~ Vermont ~ Driving Trip

Vermont had beautiful mountains, spectacular fall colors and more rain ...




Vermont had alot of damage from Irene, on the driving tour today we saw many rivers with banks littered with debris.  We also saw many washed out roads and bridges.
 



The smallest state capital in the US ~ Montpelier, Vermont (in the rain)

Cool lumber company, location and name

Our favorite stop this trip !!!  Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory Tour ~ we got a free sample of mint chocolate chuck; yummy






Can see why this one is in the Graveyard; yuck


 
The FLAVOR Graveyard behind the factory.





Beautiful !!!
The horses, the colors, the mountains with clouds


More clouds


and more !!


This was Dan's favorite part of the drive:  Smuggler's Notch


Glad we didn't have the RV for this drive !!! 


I put my hand out the window to take this picture and I could touch the water, the road was so close to it!






Didn't see any yet . . . but we are still looking, check back for further updates on the Moose hunt.  (Melanie/Jim ~ not your moose)  hehehe


Covered bridge; didn't drive on it; only a walking bridge.



Guess what city we (Dan) found in Vermont?

















Got to love those "Dans"  They really like their names

  2. Love the ice cream graveyard! Scary roads, almost looked like it was going to end with those rocks. Cool waterfall, looked like it came out of nowhere!
