Introducing our East Coast Adventure

Hey does this site still work? Yes, it’s been pretty quiet around here lately, but that is all about to change. After working every day but one since December it is time to get back on the road and on to new adventures.

We figured since we are here on the right side of the country why not give it a look around? We intended to do that when we moved to Vermont, however, it has ended up that we have only had 5 nights in the camper since last August, where we expected to have many dozens based on the lies we were told about the job we took. That is totally unacceptable and is changing starting today! What was the point of coming here anyway? Not to work 100 hour weeks, that’s for sure. Time is our most valuable asset, we have an unknown but finite amount of it, and we want to use the rest of ours wisely. Goodbye Woodshed, hello open road.

We are headed south out of Vermont on a grand road trip we are calling the East Coast Adventure. Now don’t get me wrong, Vermont is great, but if you aren’t able to get out and about what’s the doggone point? So here we go.

Home for now

Exploring the Green Mountain National Forest, 2022

After staying pretty local enjoying the fall colors we were able to escape for an overnight to the Green Mountain National Forest. The Green Mountain National Forest is Vermont’s only national forest and it was high on the list to check out, since larger areas of public land are pretty hard to come by in Vermont. We also had the Waybury Inn on the list of things to see. The Waybury (the outside) is the Inn in the show “Newhart” owned by the Loudens and known on the show as the Stratford Inn. Since we took on the new profession as innkeepers we’ve been watching old Newhart episodes and wanted to go see the Stratford in person. It’s isn’t white anymore, but otherwise it’s the Stratford.

Old Cascades, July 2022

There’s the Cascades, and then there’s the Old Cascades. Those weather worn non-descript “hills” west of the flashy snow capped peaks everyone knows about. The Old Cascades are filled with trails, small lakes and wildflowers, and lack the wilderness designation that bring the crowds. We went to explore in July hoping to catch a few wildflowers and find a quiet ridge with a view. We were successful, although the truck has a few new pinstripes from the brushy roads to prove it.
