I wanted to take these bears home with me but couldn't figure out how to get them all on my bike for the remainder of the trip

Ok I was really hungry. I told you I was so hungry I could eat a bear  

   Some of my bear riding buddies. Cliff wanted to feed the bears even though there was a sign that said "Don't Feed the Bears"

Herb had taken Robert's (from France) riding jacket that he always wore and fell in love with it. He liked it so much that he didn't want to give it back.

Here is Robert (from France) saying "Look at the riding jersey that I have to wear today! I want my French riding jersy back Herb or you will become dog meat.

Nay nay Robert I'm not giving your jacket back. I really like the way it feels  

   This was to be Herb when Robert got finished with him. But Herb was a fast sprinter and got away

Yup the Green Mountain State and by the looks at this sign "Very Liberal with Kerry Edwards signs all over it".

How did those Kerry Edwards stickers get there - it's a long way up to that sign! Someone had real long legs or arms

  Gary the first person on the left with his hands on his hips saying "No I will not ride any further until we stop at a cafe for coffee". Everyone is agreeing with him. Greg on the very right is riding ahead looking for a cafe or coffee shop 

   This is a beautiful view of the Vermont Mountains. BUT they are hills compared to the Mountains I have ridden over

We finally found a very nice cafe to have a coffee. This was a very nice cafe I'm sure that the dinners here were very Good

WOW my Mother would have loved to see this picture, she always told me about Grandma Moses school house and stories about Grandma Moses

  More Vermont Mountains (opps could be Hills) 

  After 50 days these Ladies Looked Real Good! 

Yup Robert (from France) thought so too. He couldn' wait to start kissing them. Afterwards he was worried that his wife would find out about this and he would be a "Dead Man When He Returned Home"!

Robert just didn't want to stop! Yup he's a Dead Man when he returns home! 

   Ok, so will Cliff and Bob be dead men too when they return home

 I'm falling in Love with the Vermont Lakes but who ate the apple and dropped the core on the road  

Gary and Brian saying "Stop with all the pictures of the lakes"

Cliff after a wild descent down one of those Vermont Mountains (ooppps I mean Hills) where the speeds reached 40 to 50 mph

Come on Bob, "We are not riding any further until we find another cafe or restaurant for coffee" 

  We finally made it to a nice restaurant called Dots. When I stood to take this picture I said to everyone "they all dress funny". No spandex on anyone but me and my fellow riders. But they all had a good time with us I got almost everyone to laugh a little  

Even this couple laughed even though they were not wearing any spandex

   Andrew doing his best Bear Pose

What a view, bet it's great after and during a snow storm

What wonderful shades of Green

 Turn left immediately 

  What happened to the left turn sign? 

This was a really cool covered bridge

Ok is this one of the "Bridges of Madison County" (remember the movie)

   A rusting train bridge that trains actually ride over, I wonder for how much longer?

   Another lake. I kept looking for my hammock along the shore line but never found it

Jane and Gene holding hands after 50 days of riding. They are best of friends as well as wonderful Husband and Wife. They were a real pleasure to be with over the past 50+ days. Would like to have them as neighbors - Hey Jane and Gene want to move to Montgomery County Maryland?
