Our next destination is Waterbury, Vermont. Instead of taking a ferry across from New York to Burlington, Vermont we chose to drive north then around and down Lake Champlain. Of all the large lakes we have seen on this trip, this is our favorite. We could live on the shores of this lake if the winters were not so very cold

We think no visit to Vermont should be without a stop at Ben & Jerry’s ice cream manufacturing site. We spent a couple of hours on a tour, eating ice cream, and learning all about this incredible company. They even have a “flavor graveyard” with some of the flavors they no longer offer with headstones and all. Ben & Jerry’s has had over 600 different flavors since their inception in 1978. Each year they offer about 95 different flavors. A fun and yummy stop.

We are camped at Little River Campground in Waterbury. Another beautiful campsite in the fall forest on a lake. Vermont has been Steve’s favorite so far.

California has “speed bumps” and “speed humps”, Vermont has “speed tables”. They are a little fatter and flatter than the California style.

We can’t believe the immense number of acres devoted to raising corn in most of the states we have traveled through.

It’s getting colder
