Trip to Vermont

My girlfriend and I just got back from a few days up north in beautiful Vermont. We attended a "Big Game Dinner" where they served all forms of wildlife, including moose, bear, beaver(it was disgusting), venison, rabbit, and even alligator. I thought most of it would taste "gamey" but really only the beaver was real strong, like, you KNEW you were eating a wild animal with every chew.

Got some decent landscapes up there, but it was pretty chilly. I stuck my hand in Lake Champlain and it was so cold I don't think even Chuck Norris could swim in it. It also looked like Subaru sells half their cars in that state, and I seemed to be one of the few men that didn't have a beard.

Here are some of the photos taken in transit, we left on Thursday

uh, I was trying to get AWAY from Philly. And by the way US, the tail of this plane should now have a photo of Andy Reid's face on it with a big red 'X' through it

I sure hope it wasn't a relative! :-O

Nice photos, sounds like it was a fun trip!

I wonder how pilots like those M shaped yokes...they always seem weird to me...

Great shots

Nice shots! Did you sample any good Vermont brews with the big game?

They look weird, but are actually a more natural position. Your hand just 'falls' into place on it.

Thank you, and but of course

This is the "Long Trail Brewmaster Imperial Porter" I had with my steak tips @ The Scuffer Steak & Ale House

And this was a Stout from the Vermont Pub & Brewery

Both were as delicious as they look gentlemen. They were so dark and meaty you almost needed a knife and fork. One of the reasons I love winter is the ability to enjoy these dark brews.

The Game Dinner was held in a church in Bradford, Vt about an hour east of Burlington. There was no alcohol at the event so between that and the end of the world being next month I had to make up for it in style on the other nights.

Excellent stuff and great photos! I too am a fan of the rich and dark beers of winter.

Looks like you a great trip.
