NY to VT

After driving thru the Hudson River Valley we arrived in Bennington, VT. Lovely town and with Revolutionary War history.
Battle of Bennington 1761 Memorial
Found Woodford SP on the East side of town. Only 5 other campsites were occupied. Went to the furthest point in the park and dropped anchor. Quiet and eerie away from people. No electric or water at site but weather permits this and there is a bathhouse nearby.



Little Pond, VT
 Hiked in the Green Mt National Forest on Little Pond Trail the next morning. It was a snowmobile trail so it was wider and we were able to manage a jog stroller most of the way. 2 1/2 hours with a child. He wanted to throw rocks and sticks the whole way which delayed us. I almost turned around when I saw what looked like fresh paw prints of a momma and baby bear. My husband demanded we plow ahead but picked up a big stick at that time. Made it unmauled to the pond. The way back was quicker with Big B sleeping.

Went to Bennington for coffee and ice cream. What an idyllic town. Not sure what winter is like though. Brrrrr!
