We had a quick stop planned in Vermont with plenty of hiking. We cancelled due to rainy weather and opted for a local tour of the area. While the weather did clear up, the trails were still very muddy. Since we have enjoyed quite a bit of hiking the last week, we decided a muddy trek was not our first choice. We'll just have to go back another time and check out the great hiking that Vermont and the mountains have to offer.

Well, did we make the best of it? I think so. We went to Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks and learned the art of making maple syrup. We were able to walk the Maple Trail and see the trees and extraction process up close. We had fun in their store. We came out with an armful of maple syrup, maple candy and some maple cotton candy.
