Day 408, March 11, 2016;  Saint Albans, VT; Kingsville, OH

6 am.   Alarm goes off.    Uugghhh. It’s cold and all I want to do is stay snuggled under the blankets but here we go.    1200 miles in two days.  Not quite sure we are going to make that but I’m sure Greg will give it his best shot.    

Dunkin Donuts was open and had my coffee cake muffins so all is good.    

7:30 am.  It’s spitting snow a bit.   Maybe if I don’t tell Greg he won’t notice.  Haha.  

  

We passed this really cool museum on the way through Shelburne, Vermont.

You can kind of see the steamboat in this picture. 

  
  
   
 

You may not be able to see this, but the white lines in the picture are actually the tubing from the maple trees down to a big reservoir at the bottom of the hill.   We’ve seen blue and white tubing in the trees but pretty hard to get a picture in the woods.  

  
We passed this farm on our back road trek through Vermont.   Gorgeous farm and barns.   Turns out it’s the farm for Cabot cheese and butter.    They have 3000 cows and used cow power to run the farm.  Greg has always liked their cheese.  He bought pepper jack, sharp cheddar and horseradish last night to snack on and then passed the farm today.  Pretty neat.

Nice country drive on our way to the interstate. 

 

We passed this beautiful estate while going down the back roads.  Wow!  Come on lottery!

Looks like even in the middle of nowhere you can find a race track. 

 
  

  
We’ve seen a lot of interesting forms made out of hay bales but not quite sure what to make of this.  It looks like velour.  

  

5 pm.   Off topic a bit.  We just passed the sign for the exit for Niagara Falls.   Thought I would share a few pictures of our trip there in 2008.  My how time flies.  

   
    
 
Every single time we stop.   Haha 

  
How important or rich do you have to be to buried like this? 

  

6:30 pm.   Sunset over Lake Erie, just in to western Pennsylvania. 

  
  

7 pm.  Pulled in to a TA for the night.   Greg is exhausted.  Eating and going to bed.  Still have 605 miles to go to get to receiver tomorrow.   

Goodnight y’all.
