Where I stayed
Limehurst Lake Campground

Friday, July 2, 2010

We started out mighty chilly with the heat on in the trailer...it was 43 degrees when we woke up on 7/2!!!!  Brrrrrrrr  After having pancakes with fresh Vermont maple syrup, we decided to head to the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory in Waterbury.  Did you know that 70% of all of Ben and Jerry's ice cream in made Vermont?  They have 2 factories in Vermont, there are 5 in total.  Sadly they weren't making ice cream that day, it was cleaning day, but we still got a cool tour and got a free sample of one of there new flavors, Milk and Cookies.  It was really good!  They even have a "flavor graveyard" that they no longer produce these flavors.  They either got old or didn't work from the start.  The most interesting flavor in the graveyard was peanuts and popcorn, that doesn't even sound good!

After a quaint lunch at Arvad's we were on a search for the next swimming hole!!!!  Off to find Warren Falls......

Warren Falls was the coolest fall we've been to yet!  It was hard to find, but well worth the effort!  Since it was only 72 degrees outside, the wetsuits came out!  It was made up of 3 different swimming holes, all of them with there own personality.  Our favorite was the 1st one, where we got to discover different sliding rocks and slide into the chilly water!  The wet suits helped, but not enough.  The 2nd one had an area that was 15 feet deep, with rocks we could jump off! 

By the time we finished at the swimming hole, we found out we were 1 hour and 15 minutes from the campground.....so dinner was in order.  In Vermont, they have NO billboards or normal restaurants!  We drove through Montpelier, which is the capital of Vermont, and we thought we were back in Oregon.....we couldn't find a restaurant that we knew, so we settled for Mcgillicutes Pub and Bar.  We made an excellent choice!!!!  Yummy!!!!  With our bellies full, we were back to the campground to crash!

Happy camping,
The Bright's
