Foxboro/Vermont

After Virginia, flew up to Foxboro to visit Joan and Sandy.  We drove up to Vermont and next morning me and Sandy got up early to hike up Mt Ascutney (3 miles one-way and 2,000 feet - very rocky and challenging trail).  This small water fall is about 1/2 way up.

We stopped by a Monastery near Chester (cant remember the name) - didnt get enlightened  but did get this cool shot of mums with old bell.

Second morning, me and Sandy got up before sunrise to get an early hike in to a ridge near Stony Brook Cabin (joan thought we were crazy).  But we did get up to the ridge just in time to see the sun come over the horizon.

The colors were peak on some hillsides - this was on a property near Stony Brook

Despite the cloudy weather we took a Gondola ride to the top of Strattion Mtn (unfortunately pea soup fog made it a bad day to try that) - this pic was down in the village.

After our Segway tour, Sandy and I did a short walk to firetower on top of Okemo Mt.
