Hello Friends of the Road,
This will be a jam packed letter for you all. I hope all is well in your parts of the world. With transportation options that are available, doesn’t the world seem smaller? During a recent hike in Benson, my group was discussing how different it must have been in the 1700’s. I’m sure some of you would love the opportunity to transport yourself back in time to experience how it was. I imagine the air must have been clearer and the water more pure. How different the landscapes must have looked too. It must have been scary with the threats of invasion in addition to the isolation most people must have felt during the early days of colonization.
Yesterday the hike leaders for the June 24th outing met to do some scouting and planning. We uncovered some good information and the outing should be interesting to all that attend. The route may vary depending upon the weather and what attendees are interested in doing. There may also be an option for visiting another nearby site afterwards. For those interested in eating lunch afterwards, there is a great area to gather at the house we’re meeting at (Audet house at 23 Brock Lane). They are gracious enough to offer access to their bathroom if needed. There is also a good store nearby to buy lunch if needed. Here is the official description of the hike:
On Saturday the 24th, at 10am, a trio of hike leaders will lead an exploration of a possible route of the 1776 Mount Independence-Hubbardton Military Road in Orwell. Wear appropriate attire for some bushwhacking through the woods, and pack a lunch as well. Meeting location is at 23 Brock Lane in Orwell. Estimated walking distance: about 3 miles. For more info, call Dale at (802) 353-6374.
As for the “Announcement” portion of this email, I’d like to share with you the official details for the July 15th bus trip to NH. It is a one day trip and should offer a good mix of historic content, and great company. I have reserved my seat already and am looking forward to it. I also attended the previous bus trip to Canada and really enjoyed myself. Below is the abbreviated press release with contact information. Attached is a PDF file with the full release, including some photos. If you need help opening the file, let me know. I hope to see you all soon!

Every inland New England resident deserves the chance to inhale the fresh salt air of the Atlantic seacoast from time to time! Therefore, the Crown Point Road Association offers a Saturday, July 15, 2017 daytrip from Vermont – and from New Hampshire’s Grafton and Sullivan Counties – to tour historic houses and exhibits that are located at “Strawbery Banke,” a popular historical attraction on the Atlantic coast of New Hampshire. Reservations can now be made for the trip. A chartered motor coach will transport guests, who may board in their choice of Rutland, Vermont or of West Lebanon, New Hampshire. The host group, a non-profit organization, has set a per-person ticket price of $70.00 which must be received by July 6.
The itinerary consists of a motor coach departure from Rutland at 8:00 a.m. and one from West Lebanon at 9:20 a.m., arrival in Portsmouth at approximately 11:00 a.m., a staff orientation to Strawbery Banke (admission fee is included), and a Panera Bread sandwich to-go meal at 5:00 p.m., to enjoy aboard the motor coach during our return trip to West Lebanon and Rutland, arriving before night-fall. Lunch is not included, so guests are welcome to bring a bag lunch. Cold soft drinks are available for free while the motor coach is en route. Strawbery Banke has picnic tables outdoors. Those not bringing a lunch may purchase a meal at the museum’s “figtree” café, which offers four salads, beverages, a daily special, and a panini option.
To purchase tickets, the public can send a check in advance, payable to “Crown Point Road Association” for $70 per person, to Tom Hughes, 126 Charles Avenue, Middlebury, Vermont 05753-1304. Please indicate your contact information, the names of each attender, and the town (Rutland or West Lebanon) where each will board the motor coach. For answers to questions about this trip and to choose specific pick-up and drop-off point locations, readers may call Tom at 802-388-2967.
