June 7, without internet reception, I posted June 4-6 on my notes page as I did with latter half of my Cuban trip. The hills continued for another 44 miles but The Northern Kingdom of Vermont wa the most scenic of the places prior to this point. Lush grazing pastures and farms everywhere. Nevertheless, the terrain was rough on the legs. Up a hill, flat for a half a mile or so, down a hill, flat for a mile, up a long hill....so it continued for the entire day. A warmershowers host who couldn’t put me up, being on vacation himself, gave me directions to a beautiful campsite overlooking a lake in the town of Newport. $35/night for the site was a little pricey, considering that I only needed a ploy for my tent and a clean bathroom. It was my only option. Dined at a nice restaurant recommended to me by the camp maintenance guy (former teach who had had enough of the system). Nice place by the water and a flat short ride to get there. Slept great with almost no one there, plenty of privacy. Their was a train which managed to blast its way through Newport in the early morning hours which didn’t do much for my deep sleep. My experience across the country is the same. The train horns just blow you out of bed and nobody complains.
