9/3/11 - 9/5/11 - With more than 200 roads and bridges closed after the devastating flooding and runoff from Tropical Storm Irene, Vermont was quite literally back in business quickly. Within one week, only about 20 roads and bridges were closed in the state. By Columbus Day, the group calling itself "We are Vermont Strong" had rallied to ensure strong tourism for the state's busiest and most profitable weekend of the year.
My visit to the Manchester, VT area with Henry included a hike to Antone Mtn (2600') in the Merck Forest (Rupert, VT), a maple sap vat in the Merck Forest, browsing at Northshire Bookstore, canoeing, watching beavers at dusk off of Route 11 in Peru, VT, and holding my breath as my car nearly flooded and stalled on the drive back to route 91.
