Today's ride was just like yesterday's except with a hair cut...not as long and some "taken off the top" of the hills. No rain either. The last thirty miles was beautiful "lost in time" rural rolling farm country. Dinner at Pizza Hut across the street. Close and fast are my prerequisites for a good meal, lots of calories not fine dining. Today we crossed into Vermont, state ten, at about 100 miles. No state sign. Bennington is the third largest town in Vermont whose industry is or was pottery, iron and textiles. The "Bennington Battle Monument", which I can see from my room, is 306' tall. Robert Frost is buried here and the Appalachian trail passes to the east. Tomorrow we enter the final state, Massachusetts, state number 11.
