From the Apple Island Resort South Hero, Vermont.This ai the last day of out two weeks here in Vermont, our 113th day on the road this trip. We have seen some great scenery and visited some beautiful places. Today we started out activities with a tour of the Lake Champlain Chocolate Company. It’s a small operation. The tour was entirely conducted on a mezzinine overlooking the work floor. Besides telling about chocolate production and the company’s activities, they punctuated the talk with samples of the chocolate at each stage of production. As we shopped they kept putting out samples of various candies, they even gave samples of their ice cream.
After the chocolate factory tour we went looking for some more covered bridges. This time we had an “Official” Vermont road map. It didn’t help a lot, we did find two. We wonder why in this modern age the Vermont Vacation Guide doesn’t utilize Lat/Lon coordinates to make the search easier. Today the oldest bridge we saw was built in 1849 and restored in 1950.
On the way back to the resort I did one cache that hadn’t been visited since mid August.
All in all a good day. Unfortunately it was our last full day in Vermont. BTW, we had sunshine in the afternoon for the first time and clear skies as it got dark.
Tomorrow we plan to go to the Petersborough Basket Factory in New Hampshire. Then our whirlwind trip back to Decatur, IN via Maine, RI, Mass., and Conn. begins.

Terrible that you had to sample all that chocolate. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell I just wanted to let you know that we are nestled in Camp Decatur and will spend the holiday here in the parking lot. I understand that your appointment is for the 13th.
By the way it is 58 degrees and it is raining. Now you know we wish you were here.:
