August 31-September 1, 2024
I didn’t even know about the Lost River Cave until we passed a billboard advertising its presence on highway 70 on our way to the AirBnB in Kentucky.

After two nights of terrible sleep, I finally got a full night of uninterrupted sleep. I woke up refreshed Friday morning so I decided to take Ash for a hike at Mammoth Cave National Park.
Salem, Massachusetts
August 23
Brandy and I had briefly discussed swinging through Salem, Massachusetts, on our way from Maine to Kentucky. The plan was to leave Maine on Friday, August 24 and spend maybe an afternoon in Salem before moving on.
Well, between being bored and being uncomfortable in our AirBnB in Maine, we decided to leave a day early and spend a whole day in Salem.
Acadia National Park
August 17, 2024
We only had two events worth posting about in our brief time in Maine. I will be covering our entire stay on this post, but the bulk of it will be spent talking about our trip to Acadia National Park.
Stockbridge, Vermont
July 7 – August 9
The next long-term stop on our massive Summer Tour saw us spend 33 days in Stockbridge, Vermont.
Lake Champlain Ferry
July 27
On the border between Vermont and New York sits 500+ square mile Lake Champlain. At it’s widest point, the lake is up to 14 miles wide, but at it’s narrowest points, say, between Grand Isle, VT and Plattsburgh, NY, it’s only a couple miles.
We took a ferry across the river between those two points.
Ben & Jerry’s Factory Tour
July 21
Not being too big a fan of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (based purely upon its price,) I didn’t think much about visiting their factory, but my adventurous spirit won out and we wound up booking a tour.
White River Tubing
August 3, 2024
Guys! I went tubing!
Burlington, Vermont
July 20
There isn’t a lot to do in Vermont. About the only desirable “urban” destination we could find was Burlington, about an hour and a half northwest of our AirBnB.
So we went there.
Hanover, New Hampshire
July 19
As we were less than an hour from Vermont’s border with New Hampshire, we decided to take a quick day trip to Hanover, home of Dartmouth College.
