Heading back to the resort for the last time it looked like there was a hole in the sky…
.
.
And before long we were approaching the Notch.
.
.
These signs are on both entrance sides to the road and it took me a few minutes to figure out what they were talking about.
.
.
TT’s won’t fit?
How odd.
.
.
As we entered the Notch, rain. I swear the mountains make their own weather.
.
.
Godzilla barfing?
No, just falling rocks.
.
.
Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but the road is positively pink. Vermont has the oddest color tar in places. Perhaps it’s mixed with Ben and Jerry’s Strawberry Shortcake…?
Since our neighbor was caring for Lord Dudley Mountcatten… as well as feeding the fox and deer.. a thank you gift was required. This meant dragging my husband shopping and you know if it isn’t antiques he isn’t happy.
.
.
A bottle of local Vermont wine…
.
.
And some Vermont chocolates were perfect, but then I lost the husband in the store.
.
.
You knew he’d find something vintage, right?
He actually collects these old gas station oil bottles and was thrilled to find a complete set with the holder. He was less than thrilled to find they were being used as decoration and not for sale.
He was so grumpy about that he wouldn’t let me go back and purchase this special maple syrup.
.
.
Which in hindsight was probably a good thing…
.
.
Because as soon as I saw they had various Dog liquor I wanted one of each.
.
.
But at nearly $200 for the pair it’s a good thing they were under lock and key.
😬

River's world..... 
But what are TTs?
Tree trucks? Train tires? Testy T-Rexessesses?

Thoughtful gifts. Once when I was in Maine on vacation. I took my mother into a bakery. I saw a set of canister-sized cans on the shelf. They all had the same image of a black and white cat (like we’ve always had). I asked the clerk if they were for sale. She said they were for decoration only. The owner heard her and yelled out – “everything in this store is for sale. See if he’ll give you $25.” – Sold.

Ohh Dirty Dog is a great name for a liquor and maple syrup I must say. Wow, I just love all the pictures of Vermont. It’s definitely beautiful, green (somewhat) and full of all kinds of stuff like barfing Godzillas, lol.

Looking at the various pictures I see the highways as pinkish, blueish, greyish, and blackish. I think they have something in the mixture that makes them kind of reflective. Not mirror-like, but picking up certain highlights of the surround nature.

Wyoming roads are red. Pretty cool, but Wyoming roads are not surrounded by scenery as stunning as Vermont’s. Unless you’re into oil rigs.

I’m guessing TT meant tractor-trailer and not double D’s?
I’ve never seen a pink highway! That’s pretty sweet.

DD’s was the first thing that crossed my mind and although I’m not there yet, I feared for a tight squeeze.
And yes, my other half is obsessed with old/antique/vintage things. Except in wives of course….
