Vermont in 3 days

We dashed out of Arlington, MA Thursday morning for one more last minute trip on the motorcycle before the responsibilities kick in on Monday. I woke up full of worry this morning, but all that didn't matter today because we were hitting the road. I really love that riding is about being in the present moment.

We head west across Massachusetts and around 100+ miles later we take our first break at the Mass Moca in North Adams. Its a large museum in what feels like the middle of no where. This town, North Adams, must have been a mining town, which has since had many of its building converted, including the building of the Mass MoCA. We saw some great exhibit with Jenny Holzer and Anselm Kiefer.

Time to get back on the road and get to our final destination: the Nordic Hills Lodge in Wilmington, VT. where we'll be staying for the night. This is a great spot that James found by chance on a solo trip he did last month. This great lodge is motorcycle friendly and has a lot for a smaller place and great price. I would defiantly recommend if your in the area. Its also at the bottom of Mount Snow, which I hear is a nice ski area in the winter. At the lodge there's a game room downstairs where we played air hockey and then some pool.

Fall was starting to show, but its still a little early and actually quite hot - 84 degrees F. I do hope the heat late in the season means that this will be an easier winter.

The following day we made it over to our friends Stewart and Jenny who just moved up to Vermont from FL. It was great seeing some familiar faces up here.

Today, Saturday, we drove back home in a hurry, trying to bet the tropical storm making its way up here. So weird. Anyways, we made it and Monday is back to school.
