The Moose Parade, Bennington, VT

On our way for a weekend at Lake George, we stayed overnight in VT. Imagine our surprise, once we hit the road, when we noticed that the town fathers had moved all of the moose that had been scattered around Bennington to the Arts Center for the final auction that night! What a great place to view the entire collection of the moose in a common, picturesque location. The artistry of these fiberglass moose is amazing!



Mark and Sue and Leslie and Rick Davidow
(Sue's sister and her husband) They were the Davidow portion of our first website - The Pepe's and Davidow's Letterboxing Site. Many of you probably don't remember that site.

Our favorite moose - can you guess why?




Fancy, huh?

Lake George, Here We Come!

We hadn't visited Lake George in years. While we had heard it could get very busy in the summer months, we found it utterly captivating this time of year. There were very few people around. It was a challenge finding a restaurant a few times but it was a great trade-off for the peace, quiet and beauty of this lovely Adirondack resort area. Sue and I decided we'd return, again in the fall, with another letterbox or two for planting packed in our suitcases!

Sue's sister, Leslie with her husband, Rick and you know the pair on the right! We always have such a great time with them.




The view out of our condo! Can't beat that for great scenery.

Notice the snow on top of the mountains? Great contrast with the fall color on the trees.

Sue doesn't take many pictures but this one is one of my favorites.
On our way to plant The Sagamore Canoe letterbox, she spotted this furry friend cleaning up a tray that was left outside of a condo by one of the cleaning staff.




Four of us after we planted The Sagamore Canoe Box.
Aren't those automatic timers on cameras the best???
I'm not used to being in so many pictures - I'm usually behind the camera.

The end of a perfect weekend! Do we look refreshed and relaxed?
