Memorial Day Weekend

Well, I mentioned the 251 Club in my first (or was it my second...) post, and thought I'd share a few of my favorite photos from my trip to Vermont, last weekend. I was able to get to 10 new towns, including: Addison, Barre, Brandon, Essex, Leicester (home of Satan's Kingdom, VT!), Montpelier, Panton, Pittsford, Salisbury, and Weybridge.

This brings me up to about 33 towns (give or take), which I hope to get up on a website at some point in the near future. I try to spend some time driving around and talking to people, and have made it a personal mission to visit all of the public libraries in the state... harder than you might think.

I lived out your way in the early 90s. Lived in Chatham Twnshp - worked in West Orange then Roseland. I have fond memories of Hoboken (I was much younger then), the Jersey shore, hiking on the trails near Morristown, taking the PATH train into Manhattan… Those were fun times.

Beautiful photos, BTW – you have a good eye for composition.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I think the entire state of VT looks like it belongs on a postcard.

Thanks Marci!
Sorry I'm so late in responding to this post. I find it hard to keep track of comments... Hm. Maybe I should change my preferences!

You'll have to tell me about some of the trails you used to hike near Morristown. I have a newly acquired camera and am looking for some scenic trails to visit.
