Hello Friends of the Road,
Have any of you been walking the back roads lately? The frequent rains we’ve been having in the Northeast have taken a rest thankfully. If only we could have sent some of that rain out west huh? Those days of smoke in the air certainly hit home. Back to the walks, I digress. With all the rain you don’t have to worry about eating dust as cars wiz by, which is nice. The days are still long enough to enjoy some of the evenings after work too. I hope you are all enjoying the Summer. 

It was a great turnout at the big event down in Bennington recently. Despite the warnings of flash floods and such, the turnout was quite good and the weather turned out quite reasonable, except for a bit of humidity.

Months of planning paid off and the lingering buzz afterwards may just lead to other historical events in the future, so keep your ears open for more fun! I have a few pictures to share from the outing. They were shared by CPRA member Liz Petraska. She used software to give some an old time look that is quite appealing. You can view them HERE. Thanks Liz!
