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.
July 7 – August 9
The next long-term stop on our massive Summer Tour saw us spend 33 days in Stockbridge, Vermont.
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.
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.

Guys! I went tubing!
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.
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.
July 13
While Brandy got caught up on sleep after her hellacious two weeks in Oregon, Ash and I took a hike on the South Kent Pond via Appalachian Trail.
July 14
With Brandy recovering from a night of drinking, Ash and I took a hike at the Texas Falls Recreation Area near Hancock, VT.
July 7
The checkout from the AirBnB near Cooperstown, NY, was by 9:00, by far the earliest checkout time I’ve ever dealt with. I knew it was only a three and a half hour drive to our next AirBnB in Vermont and check-in there wasn’t until 4:00 (pretty late check-in.) I did find stuff to do on the way- read on for more.
