Guess what? It rained today, all day, day number whatever. People are forming cults to seek ways to appease the Rain Monster, the cattle are shriveling up like prunes and the single red leaf still on a tree has attracted more than 400 bus tours. It is chaos.
We chose to leave the north of Vermont and stopped at Hilldene, the home of Abraham Lincoln’s son. near Manchester, VT. It is a beautiful place with extensive grounds, gardens and interesting outbuildings including an observatory. We took at 3.5 mile hike, yes it was raining - but we were glad to get out. At that time it wasn’t raining hard, that was saved until I was driving in heavy traffic. Enjoyed the historic home and especially the 1903 restored Pullman private car he used as President and/ or Chairman of the Board of Pullman in Chicago where their primary home was locate on the waterfront.. Very cool way to travel. On our hike we arrived at the farm portion and met Terri, who showed us some cool animals, multi- colored chickens and we got to hand feed a Alpaca named Tiny. We are now on an island in the Hudson River, just into NY on a water logged site.
Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans

The cabin Abe Lincoln was born in would fit under the portico.
The floating boardwalk over a marsh - part of the Battenkill River.
Let me reiterate NO SMOKING. Is that clear.
Of course, but I need a vice, all good writers have a vice. How about bourbon?
No bourbon. You already have several vices and I would be glad to rate them by the annoyance factor. Speaking of annoying, where did you get the money for an Olivetti typewriter?
My very good hiking buddy, Rusty, gave it to me he said it was worth it if it causes you to act a fribble.
Well, Janet does not know he did that!
Janet adores me, that is not an issue.
This is trying my patience. You have no idea how to write a travel book.
You have no idea and you have been doing it for seven years, just no body notices. I strategize for success and plan to be famous. You don’t know how to market, how to ply the social media, how to correctly SEO your posts and you are not cute like a Moose.
PIFFILE!, I can make up words too - and I need a break.
