After packing up, getting ice from the ice machine, we headed to the local Lennox grocery store to pick up our picnic meal for the day. Timber Inn was a nice quaint hotel which probably gets busy during winter for skiers.

We ate at the Springfield Royal Diner. Our eyes got the best of us as many in our party ordered more than what we could eat. It was a good breakfast. I could tell the diner was popular with locals as it seemed regular customers knew the staff.

Afterwards we stopped at several covered bridges. Some on outlying roads. One seemed to be a relatively major link between Vermont and New Hampshire…and was a two lane bridge.

We tried going to Woodstock, hoping to stop to look around the town and take photos, but the crowds were just too much. I’m not sure why certain towns like Woodstock and Stowe turn into tourist attractions, while other sleepy towns are void of tourists.

We had a late lunch at a small waterfall near Willoughby Lake and stopped ever so often to take photos of the scenery near the lake. I spotted a cemetery near the lake and thought “What a great view for the dearly departed.”

Next was on to Derby Line, a border town with Canada. We were disappointed to find that the border was closed only for emergencies….and even then you had to be double vaccinated and have a negative covid test. We took pictures of the library before driiving back to our final destination, the Village Inn in East Burke.

The Village Inn is more of a bed and breakfast without the breakfast. We each had our own rooms with our own bathroom. I did laundry and wished I could have gotten into the hot tub before it was closed up.

Tomorrow is New Hampshire.
