HALFWAY POINT HAS BEEN REACHED !!

Today I surged passed the halfway point in my 251 town project, as my son and I surveyed towns 125, 126, 127, 128 .and 129.  We had planned to visit the Hildene estate of Robert Todd Lincoln in Manchester, then cruise down to Bennington and take in the Revolutionary War sites around the Bennington Monument and museum, but the day was just too hot and humid for spending that much time in the car and walking in the sun.   Instead, we headed for home, but over the mountains where it would be cooler.  And I would be able to survey a few towns along the way.

I still need to do an all-day expedition to finish off the southwest corner of the state:  Vernon, Bennington, Shaftsbury, Glastenbury, Arlington, Danby.  Glastenbury is the challenge in this group, as there is only one road into the town from the west, and it can only be accessed from ShaftsburyAnd then there's the over-the-mountain towns that we drove thru but did not survey today:  Andover, Weston, Chester.

    I've been a life-long 'naturalist' -- interested in every aspect of the natural world.  I began birding in the early 1990s, and have been a serious birder for over two decades.
