We said good-bye to our new friends that were parked next to us this week, and then we went to Chester, VT.  It's an old Victorian village and the homes there were well preserved and beautiful.  We did a little geo-caching, but mainly checked out the town.  We leave tomorrow for Connecticut and will stay at another corps of engineer park.  We look forward to moving, and feel we had a great stay here.  We noticed the trees are telling us that fall is coming, and to our surprise, a local told us that their busy season here is skiing season!  Summer is short here, and they all hope for a long Autumn.  Winter is also LONG!  We didn't see any moose here, so I guess we won't. 

This is Don and Rosie Jorgenson, whom we met this week, as they were parked next to us.  They were great neighbors and we know they will be making a visit to Wisconsin sometime to stay with us. 

This is an old grist mill that we noticed alongside the road.  It has a barn quilt on the side, so of course that caught my eye!

We arrived at the old depot in Chester to find a geo-cache on an old railroad car.  They are always so hard to find, as there are so many cubby holes.  We had the help of a fellow, that was working on some picnic tables for the upcoming railroad scenic train rides in the fall, leaving from Chester.  We had a good chat with him.  This is a well preserved depot.

We saw this 'continuous homestead' in Chester, where the farm buildings were connected to the house.  This house happened to be very Victorian, and that surprised us a bit.
