Woke up to rain and 57 degrees. It stopped raining and sun came out in the afternoon and temperature hit 70

We headed to Honey Hollow Falls but when we got there trail was wet and overgrown so then we headed to Mt Philo state park. Along the way I saw a sign for the round church in Richmond. I put it into your GPS but we could not find it so headed to the park. We parked the car and walked to an overlook. I was disappointed but then noticed a trail so decided to walk a bit and saw signs for the summit

The park is the first state park in Vermont. View of Lake Champlain

Beautiful day. Blue skies but it’s 86 degrees

We headed out to Sterling Gorge. Along the way we spotted an old factory alongside the road an stopped to take some pictures

Pictures above are along Sterling Gorge trail. When I looked at the map I thought we were going to go by a covered bridge on way to the gorge but we didn’t see any signs. After we left the gorge and headed back to Stowe the GPS lost its signal so we were not sure where to turn. We missed the turn but found the covered bridge.

We decided to stop in Stowe. It was really busy as there was a tour bus. We stopped in one of the galleries and saw this guitar. It can be yours for $3,000

Stopped in downtown saratoga springs. Found a great bakery. Mrs Landons and a great yarn store. Common Threads

Then we headed to Manchester to Orvis so Michael could use his coupon. Then we headed to Stowe. Went a different route this time and discovered a new covered bridge Shushan covered bridgeBut after I took the picture I tripped and scraped my knee and elbow. Thank goodness there is a first aid kit in truck

Then we headed to Stowe and the sun finally came out

The gardens at the Stone Hill Inn are beautiful as usual

Last morning in Vermont. When we left it was 70 degrees. We have been visiting Dorset for years but never stopped at Dorset bakery until this morning. What a great find

It was gray and overcast

Pretty flowers by the fence and parking lot

We usually try to travel during the week but because of a mix up with medication we decided to travel on a Saturday. We decided to leave later than usual so we left at 11. Traffic wasn’t bad even thought it rained on and off in New York and New Jersey. Google maps advised us to take 287 instead of 17 and Garden State. Made good time til we had a downpour on 287 and I missed an exit. 287 might be a little longer but will give it a try again. Made it home in 7 hours with 4 stops

It’s good to be home
