Day 26

Day 26

The last day.

We left early from the hotel since we had the longest drive in our trip ahead of us. We stopped in Rochester, NY to check out a large beer store and to get some lunch. After picking up some more beer to take home, we found that a Wegmens was just around the corner, so we went. It was very exciting since we hadn't been to one in years.

As the Green Mountains came into view, we got more and more excited to get home. Once we crossed over Lake Champlain, the smells told us we had finally made it back to Vermont. Seeing Camel's Hump and Mt Mansfield, it reminded us how these mountains may be small, both being around 4,000 ft in elevation, but they are our mountains and we love them. To put that in perspective, most of the mountains we saw out west were around 8,000 to 10,000 ft in elevation, with a few getting close or over 14,000 ft in elevation.

We finally made it home around 9pm to a hot house that had been closed up for almost 4 weeks. We dragged everything out of the car to finally give it a rest and enjoyed a good nights sleep in our own bed.
