So we drove and drove and then we drove some more. Let's just say it was remote. Not hard to find but definitely in the boonies. The trip was perfectly uneventful. The boy was fishing within minutes of arrival. Our site was perfectly located, it may well be the only time in my life that I actually have lakefront property.








Vermont makes for some beautiful traveling. Like Maine there's alot of distance between where you are and where you need or want to go. 10 miles for milk? What choice do you have? Somehow, I've become fairly used to it in Maine but it really left me feeling exhausted this past weekend.










Having no pets of our own left us with an empty feeling...oh, wait...was that relief? Maybe on my part but the kids adopted this guy. We spent $8.00 on peanuts. He should be set for awhile.









The view our campsite from the beach. We're to the right of the boats (those would be the red and yellow specks). If you squint you can see our tent.









And while the weather in Vermont was very nice, except for an occasional light drizzle we were just South of Boston when we were treated to a deluge. Seriously. Traffic slowed to a crawl and there was two feet of water on the ground in some places. All within minutes. Lightening and Thunder. All very cool.







See how the guardrail is only 8 inches high or so? That's because the bottom two feet and the median and passing lane are totally underwater. The other side seemed to luck out on this portion of the expressway. This much rain and what seemed to be endless grey clouds. We live about 30 minutes south of here and while it got a little overcast at one point we never got a drop of rain from this.


Okay, on to the quiz. The crowning of the winner that all of you have been waiting for.

*trumpets blaring*

It's Jennifer! She was the first to answer. She eeked out her victory by mere minutes - and because she didn't tell me how long to minus for her trip to the train station. And Kate, she got that tricky bonus question...smarty pants. Thanks to everyone that played. I made you all read those lonely little archived posts. They're very thankful.

Oh, and in trying to prevent trickery I messed with the commenting code in my template. I've gone and screwed it up. The comments for this post are actually above the header of the post below this. Dammit.
