A River Runs Among Them

Back to Vermont for just a moment. We were facinated by this. Someone took the time to build dozens of cairns in the West River in Vermont. I suspect a raging current will disperse them. Cairns are intended to help hikers find their way. When they are strewn about like these, purists call it a form of graffiti because they don't serve their purpose and litter the landscape. I thought they were fascinating.

A Covered Bridge

What could be more Vermonty? The Scott Bridge was built in 1870 over the West River and is closed to vehicular traffic. It was used by pedestrians until Hurricane Irene in 2011 weakened it further.
