Hello Friends of the Road,
It feels like it has been some time since I last wrote you all. My summer has been busy, and certainly “life has gotten in the way”. But I don’t mean that in a bad way. I have really enjoyed summer so far and despite the heat, I have done a lot. I hope all you are well and you’re enjoying your time, wherever you may be.
I like bizarre and crazy holidays and today is Book Lover’s Day. I probably won’t celebrate by reading one tonight, but I will write about them. I’m considering two local books and would like to hear if anyone has read them and would like to offer a review for them. Both are offered by the Vermont Historical Society. One is Secrets of Mount Philo. It talks about the history of Vermont’s 1st state park. The 2nd book is called Uncommon Law by Paul S. Gilles. I have so many books queued up to read, I shouldn’t be looking at buying more, but these looked interesting to me.
For your entertainment and intellectual stimulation, I have a rare gift offering for you all. This past weekend, myself and three other CPRA members attended Old Home Day in Plymouth at the Coolidge homestead. Tom Hughes, who many of you may know, gave a great presentation offering great insight about the history of the CPR. For most of the audience, this was an intro into the history of the CPR. One audience member was eager to buy our markers guide after the presentation, so it certainly made an effect on that individual. Hopefully we will have new member(s) from that outreach. Thank you Tom for your great work! For those who want to see the video, here’s a link to it and thank you Rebecca Hougher for filming the action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_w-a5gCNFI&feature=youtu.be
There is only one outing remaining for this month, and it is another installment of the popular car tour series, by CPRA President Jim Rowe. I always enjoy attending these events. I always learn stuff that isn’t in the guidebook and get to spend time with other members that I may not have seen for a while. I recommend attending these for sure.
I have one more topic to discuss with you all today. Some of you may have seen, or are familiar with the fact that the CPR was often marked with tin can lids along its path. Every once in a while, one is spotted on a tree in the woods somewhere. Many have been out there for decades. Well after spotting one in Brandon recently, there was some discussion about replacing or supplementing some of the old road markers. “Super” Member Rebecca Hougher, took it upon herself to work with a graphics designer to come up with a new design for a long lasting, plastic marker. She even purchased 100 of these new markers with her own funds. Last week, during the hike in Cavendish, a few of these markers were installed. Many more will be used in years to come. So if you see one of these markers, let us know what you think of them. Thanks Rebecca for all your work and generosity!

In closing, I will include the write-up for the upcoming car tour event. Until we meet again, be well, and keep studying history!
