Vermont 251

Today will be a good day to join this group.  I am heading down to Rupert and Sandgate Vermont for work.  I get to go down and spend the night and visit hopefully 5 farms.  Tomorrow I will be heading to Sheep Camp over in Addison, so since I am heading down and mousing around, I thing signing up for 251 is a good deal.  Thought about it, now gonna do it. Why not.  Sounds neat to be able to say that you have been in every town in your state.  Shout out to Texas family… how many towns there?  How many in Ohio?

The southern part of the state is sometimes refereed to as the “banana belt” by folks up North.  I don’t know what they call us, but I am sure they do have some sort of slam of a name.  Woodchuck comes to mind.  Redneck, Doyah (rhymes with toy) might be a couple.  But I don’t know, so I will ask at the Inn I am staying at.

I love the North East part of Vermont, called the Northeast Kingdom or the Kingdom by many, as long as I have known it.  However when I was little, living in suburban Boston, my little friends would all trek off to “the Cape” for the summer and I would head to the Kingdom.  Didn’t I get teased!  So today I am going to part of the state that I am largly unfamiliar with, the South West.  Been thought Bennington on my way back from the Dutchess County Sheep Show, aka as Rhinebeck.  But have never moused around.   I think for the 251 club you have to get out of the car.

Bottom left corner surrounded by Massachusetts and New York State.  I have googled the map and it is about 3 hours and a smidge from here.  Waterbury, Randolph, Rutland, Danby and Rupert.  No direct way but up and over the mountains and continue down the West side of the Greens.

Got my camera ready.  I love living in this state.
