Fall Residency 2006- Thursday- TIME TO LEAVE CAMPUS!
More pictures to come!
There is a funny feeling about leaving the Vermont Campus. I have such a desire to stay. Maybe I’ll come back for my Masters. My daughter, Chris, leaves Vermont today so we decided to take a drive up toward Stow. Stow is just a bit north off highway 89 between Montpelier and Burlington. When passing the Ben and Jerry’s factory on highway 100 http://www.trappfamily.com/ it was a must see for Chris. Then we drove up toward Moscow to the Von Trapp lodge http://www.trappvillas.com/ Yes, it is true. The same family portrayed in The Sound of Music. I heard that Maria ate lunch there the day before we arrived. We could not eat lunch at the lodge instead we ate at the gift shop. The lodge is open for dinner and breakfast. It was great to see this place, a bit difficult to get to, but worth the endeavor.
Chris went back to Burlington airport and Mike and I tried to figure out how to get to our cabin. We could travel up 100 and then 108, which for all intended purposes is quicker, but if you notice the yellow highlight area on the map, over 108, just north of the little red sky figures, is highlighted it is because the road is closed during the winter season, and even though it is only November 2nd, it was closed, so we had to go around the mountain to the other side. ( click on the map to enlarge) Our cabin was just outside of Jeffersonville. I would highly recommend Sterling Ridge Resort. http://www.vermont-cabins.com/ Our cabin had a Jacuzzi tub and fireplace, a full kitchen with all of the utinsels and was just a wonderful experience. The prices were good as well.
For the next couple of days we hibernated in the cabin, hiked in the surrounding woods and just rested. It was great!
The green route west of jeffersonville is our route out of that area on Sunday.
In the pictures you will see, Me on a rock with moss. Moss and boulders are some of my favorite things, oh no I think i am reverting to The Sound of Music again. The pond is the pond on the property that our cabin was. Sterling Ridge also offered a covered heated pool an outdoor jacuzzi. It was much too cold for us. The picture below that is the view from our cabin. The road with the two cabins is the road we took to our cabin our was off of the picture way to the right. The photograph with the shack on the left is where the free wood is stored. I loved that concept! the of course there is the front of our adorable cabin, a picture of our hiking sticks, and a view of the inside of our little cabin. God I loved this place!
