Day
80 - Rochester, VT to Fairlee, VT - 54
miles .......... 3744
total miles.
Chatted with Debbie & Rich over breakfast about the devastation
caused by the heavy rains of hurricane Irene in 2011 to Rochester and the local
area. The White River rose quickly, overflowing the banks, taking out the bridges
that provided access to town and knocking out the power. They talked about how
neighbors worked together and helped each other to survive. The power of water
is amazing, the power of people is also amazing! The hills continued today along
with beautiful scenery. The last 8 miles of
the day we rode along the Connecticut River, the border between Vermont &
New Hampshire, to Fairlee where we're staying tonight.
