VERMONT VIBE

     In Vermont, there always seems to be just enough: just enough state capitol building--a pleasing structure with the flashy, gold dome; just enough enough population--Charlotte's population about equals the state of Vermont's population; enough highways to get you where you need to go; enough state campgrounds. AND, as is the case in Maine, NO billboards. Ther flora is lush, the summer PM temp. is around 55 or 60. the air is clear and the people we met are gracious--the sort of folks you'd want to know back home.

     July 28th--29th

     We arced north to the skinny part of New Hampshire, zipped across, and found ourselves by exceedingly good fortune in a cool, grassy site in Lamoine State Pk. next to Frenchman's Bay, which skirts next to Acadia National Pk.,our destination (maybe).  There'll be an assortment of photos from yesterday's and today's sojorns into the park.

     Acadia is "sculpted" from three ice ages---the last one being 150 million yrs. ago. Ice is estimated to have been as much as two miles thick. Note the photos of the shoreline rock---how it was "tormented" by this shifting ice. I have no words to describe the raw beauty here at Acadia..
