A little musty this morning but we braved the weather. We finally were able to walk on the new path and it looks like they fixed the two areas that always to flood and make big puddles
Lots of acorns on the trail
Spotted some red leaves – my favorites
Not sure why or how long this wheelbarrow has been there
We spotted the egret but by the time I got my phone out it flew on a tree. Have never seen them in a tree
Also spotted a heron. Wonder if it’s one of Hanks relatives
Beautiful fall day in Vermont
Prentiss Pond in Dorset
Scott Bridge. Longest wooden bridge in Vermont
Stopped at a glass studio
Dummerstone Covered Bridge was built in 1872 and is longest covered bridge in Vermont
Stairs to get down to the riverbank
Red leaves are my favorite
Then we stopped in Newfane
Michael suggested we drive to Lake Moreau State Park and it turned out to be a great idea. We have been to Saratoga Springs several times but just discovered this park
There were several canoes throughout the park. Not sure if that’s a big weed in the middle
Fall decorations at Saratoga Spa State Park. This is just part of the display. I took some pictures with my iPhone and then when I went to take some with my Nikon I realized I left the battery home charging. All is not lost. Ordered battery and charger from Amazon and it will be delivered tomorrow
Then we headed to Saratoga National Historical Park. This time the 10 mile drive around tbe park was open
Spotted some red leaves
Nelson House was bait around 1775. In 1777, a British army was invading southward from Canada into New York and the route would take them through the Neilson’s backyard. John took his wife and their possessions to the safety of her parents home in Stillwater and exchange his home for a tent, serving with his local militia regiment. Park Rangers were working on the front of the house so had to settle for another view. This restored home looks much as it did when Generals Arnold and Poor used it for quarters in 1777
Do you see a bunny with big ears?
Spotted the silo from a distance and was hoping for a red barn but when I got closer was disappointed to see it was not red but it’s still a pretty picture
On the way back to hotel discovered the Caldwell Cemetery alongside the road. Some of the markers date back to late 1800s and early 1900s
