We had a relatively easy day today. An early start proved beneficial. We arrived in Middlebury, VT around 4:00 pm. We’re heavy, so the mountains made it a little slower than normal. The leaves have turned nicely since we were in this area (upstate NY) 3 weeks ago. Our trip will take us through the base of the Adirondack mountains.
We arrived in Middlebury and found the Green Mountain Beverage Company. The shipping department had left for the day. We weren’t suppose to be here until Thursday morning, so we had a little time to kill. We decided to drop the trailer and go sight seeing.
I googled Middlebury, VT earlier in the day and found out that this is where John Deere did a couple of years apprenticeship prior to leaving for IL and starting John Deere Company. The town was built around a company named “Marble Works” and the majority of the buildings downtown are in the National Registry of Historic Places.
Vermont completes Trapper’s list of states he has driven through. He’s made it to all 48 now!
We bobtailed to town, found a place to park the tractor and walked around for about an hour. Most of the buildings had established dates in the early 1800’s and early 1900’s erected dates.
Dinner was at a little place called Rosie’s and then back to the Green Mountain Beverage Company for the night… just in time for the presidential debate; of which, I survived the first 30 minutes. Trapper somehow survived the entire debate.
WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
