Hogback Mountain Vermont

Florida’s nice…We enjoy 0% chance of snow….but it is relatively FLAT.

My family is from the mountains of Letcher County Kentucky. I was born in Ohio the result of my parents moving for better jobs. Grew up in the country with hills to run in. Most of our children were born in Kentucky… a great place to raise kids… but we found ourselves in Florida and we’ve been here 21 years…. a looong time in the Florida flatlands. Been busy…no time to travel that far out of state. We’ve went South…Cruises in the Caribbean etc. but never North.

This September we packed the truck and took off North… thru Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and swinging by Kentucky and Tennessee on the way back to Florida.

We saw the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Appalachian Mountains, the Smoky Mountains, the Allegheny Mountains

The Cumberland Mountains, The Pocono Mountains, The White Mountains, the Green Mountains, the Adirondack Mountains and the Catskills. Oh my heart…. I didn’t realize how much I missed the hills. Sooo Beautiful!

As we were traveling thru the Green Mountains in Vermont on Route 9, we pulled off at the lookout point on Hogback Mountain. Stunning! They say you can see for 100 miles with a view of 3 states: Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Of course there was no way Pearl was going to miss this road trip… This was the first time she has seen hills…she was fascinated.
