This was our first chance since Kathy's surgery to get out and really enjoy the beauty of Vermont. I took just the right day off - the weather was fantastic and the foliage color was at peak in many parts of the state.Click any photo for a large view.
 The
Boyden Family Farm in Cambridge was a perfect scene. |
 This
is Vermont at its finest. |
On our way to lunch we went through the hamlet of North Calais. Only
dirt roads lead to it. North Calais is northwest of East Calais by
about 10 miles. But you have to leave Rt. 14 to get to it. |
 Downtown,
North Calais. |
 The
homes here are so quaint. |
 From
North Calais, it was on to Marshfield where we stopped at Rainbow Sweets
to have lunch. |
 Bill
Tecosky had some delicious food ready for us. |
 Next,
we were off to Peacham Pond. I went out in the packboat first while
Kathy napped. After that I was able to coax her into the boat for
a nice tour of the pond and the surrounding colorful hills. |
 Kathy
was feeling so good, she was able to hike the 1/4 mile to the top of one
of our favorite Vermont mountains - Owl's Head. From there you can
see most of Groton State Park. |
 The
sun set rapidly to the west. Kettle Pond is below with Camel's Hump mountain
in the far distance. What a way to end the day wouldn't you say? |
