Fun day today. Diane and I hiked up to Puffer Lodge from Bolton… It was about a 7 mile hike round-trip… Some beautiful trails up through Bryant lodge

We climbed over the top of Bolton mountain… Which by the way is not very close to Bolton Valley ski area

Then down to the beautiful Puffer Lodge… It’s a lien to overlooks the “Michigan Valley”… It’s amazing that it’s this close from home and you cannot see any signs of human habitation across this broad experience as you look out from it

We ran into quite a few people there which is kind of a surprise given how remote it is. One of them was my friend Chris and his son. Really nice catching up with him..

The other group we ran into later and took some photos of them as well. Really nice people

Later on we went into Burlington to see our friend Julie again… She and her daughters are up visiting from Pennsylvania. Julie lived in our house in 1982… So good keeping up with her

We had french fries!… Probably the first we’ve had in six months

Nice, nice day

Now nice night

Nite all, nite sam
