On one of our random scenic drives around Vermont we stopped at a diner for lunch. Wondering if there were any points of interest nearby, we asked the locals who promptly sent us to Huntington Gorge.
.
.
At first glance it didn’t look promising.
.
.
And to be honest, the second and third glances weren’t any better.
.
.
Everywhere we looked there were warnings.
.
.
And while I’m not normally obtuse, I was beginning to get the feeling we weren’t wanted.
.
.
So of course… after all the Danger Will Robinson! signs?
.
.
My mountain goat husband had to investigate.
.
.
Right at the very edge they warned us about.
.
.
Please note yours truly listened to robot and was well out of danger range.
.

Yeah. That limb will hold you honey, no problem.

Needless to say he survived. But it wasn’t for lack of trying.

River's world..... 
Glad he remained safe. A friend lives in that town. I love Quechee.

Quechee gorge is over an hour away from this one, but we’ve done that as well.

The name of the gorge reminded me that I’d heard of a rare degenerative disease of nerve cells in the brain called HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE. I don’t know if it’s contagious, but if it is, hubby may have caught it from Mother Nature at the gorge. Better watch out for any signs of it in hubby (speaking of which, this may warrant one more warning sign at the gorge). 😉

I don’t think there’s room for another warning sign

I wonder if the locals who sent you to Huntington gorge had their own nefarious agenda . . . knowing that the sirens would be singing to your husband? 😦

All the cool kids are trying to get their name on that sign. Sounds like a good application of Darwinism…

From the sounds of it not too many survived. It’s ranked the most dangerous swimming hole in the state.

Your hubs is a Marine, he’s going to “investigate” something anyone says is dangerous. You know that, lol.

Was there a sign that said “Only Darwin Award contestants may enter”?

There was not. But there should have been…

I’m surprised they haven’t “closed” that down. Like you noted, running out of room for more danger signs.

Apparently it’s a popular spot for swimmers in the summer.

I’m way too afraid of heights…or rather, falling from heights…not to heed those warning signs!

It’s a magnificent sight. I’d be more afraid of the poison ivy along the trail.
