Around these parts it hasn’t rained for 17 days – at least until we arrived. This seems to be a record in these parts – whichis understandable given the green landscape. On the first day it was a little overcast, and threatened rained. Rain it did around lunch time, heavy enough to require rain jackets well before we got to Orwell to eat.

Today we set out from Middlebury, and it is 54F – which is darn cold. Fingers crossed no rain.
